@Nick. I think you hit the nail on the head, and I ask that for one second and for the sake of the arguement you change perspective. Either side can spout facts and try to convince the other that the other is wrong, and we all must use some bit of speculation. But you summed it up perfectly, "hope vs despair." We too "like to think hopeful."

Don't look at evey "plot hole" as a problem, but rather evidence pointing toward something differently entirely. For instance, the plants and trees seen after Shepard gets up, are not being called a purely factual error, rather they are the same plants and trees seen in Shep's dreams. The Normandy, with everything from the reason behind leaving to its landing, need not be "impossible" if they represent showing Shep what he/she wants to see (his/her friends safe).

So just as you have hope for the future of the universe in game, so do we hope for more from the ending in real life. All of this could have been a stunt they tried to pull, and we could be playing right into their hands or making fools of ourselves wanting before knowing. Or we could be over analysing things, and we could all just be wrong. All we have is hope.
