It is never a bad thing to have hope....UNLESS it trips up your DBing efforts. I think all of us come to this board HOPING to save our MR. That hope is what causes us to seek out DB and learn the techniques.
But at some point you need to transition away from DBing for the sake of saving your MR, and DBing for the sake of saving yourself. I don't get the sense that you've made that transition. This is why I am afraid of the spiral downward you will make when the inevitable other show drops and an OM appears on the scene.
The way I look at it is that it is okay to have hope as long as that hope doesn't affect your DBing efforts. If it does then that hope is a hindrance that needs to be removed. Some LBS can do both at the same time (hope and properly DB), some cannot.
