It's a mental model that is quite often accurate. <edit because I really have to get this off my chest as it's so annoying> Here's what I think. I think you have observed a pattern of hearings that appeared to be little more than political grandstanding. And maybe you haven't ever observed a hearing that was anything different, as in, designed to get to the bottom of something and produce results. If the above is true you understandably expect a continuation of the same pattern. Yet you feel the need to apologize for this perfectly intelligent and rational expectation. Why? Possibly because you have been conditioned against being "negative" and led to believe that cynicism is somehow evil? Well I just have to say... Fuck That! You are right from what I can see.
