I think what's optimistic is the belief that the correct pintype is  
obvious. I think people don't put pintypes on because they don't know  
what to use. And I think this is *good*: the classification system  
really is only applicable to logic. For other things, the more  
carefully you think, the less obvious the pintype becomes...
