I'm not sure what you're getting at here, I think we may have lost the plot. Are you simply implying that you find the cynical answer more appealing and believable than the non-cynical answer? In my opinion, the internet and today's modern zeitgeist has instilled a sense in everyone that if it's cynical, or dark, or depressing, it must be the correct answer. That's usually the laziest and easiest answer too.
