Just, sir, that I don't think we've been realistic with our optimism or our pessimism. That is the central part of the quation
Actually, it doesn't matter. Reality remains what it is, whether we are optimistic or pessimistic in our assessment of it. Sooner or later, we all find out just how close or far way those assessments were compared to the gold standard of reality.
Despite being accused of many things over the years on PDF, I am pretty confident of my assessments, at least in my own opinion of me.
I read somewhere that the recent floods due to the heavy Monsoon rains had enough water to fill the mighty Tarbela Dam several times. Related to that, the forecasts for heavier and heavier rains every year due to climate change.
What good will that do in the absence of any new additions to large-scale water storage reservoirs? And whose responsibility should it be to build them all along in line with rising requirements of an exploding population (which happens only by prayers in Pakistan, I know, I know)?
