I find that boxed thinking quite problematic. Plenty of great solutions came without loyalty or optimism. Why did we throw positive thinking into the mix of otherwise confrontantional systems.
I say confrontational systems, because the only way to actually spark change in a system that has been systematically extinguishing sparks of change is actually confrontation. And the very fact that confrontation as such is now associated with negative emotion (same with conflict actually) goes hand in hand with the top level comment on this issue. Confrontation/conflict is bad, optimism is good.
Confrontration is how you bring attention to a problem. Conflict is what happens when that dominant idea is challenged by another idea.

what i mean to say is, confrontation/conflict is a normal part of debugging reality, and is healthy as long as there is an open/healthy system to enable it
You are absolutely right. I'd like to point out, that as one person, I've been both depending on the role.
If I'm in a new space with new tech, I need to learn before I have the technical excellence. If I don't feel safe, I won't have courage to challenge leadership. If don't have hope, I won't have optimism in the future.
