The positivite thinking thing reminds me a lot of prayer. If you want something hard enough and it happens then hey! it worked! But if it doesn't happen that just means you didn't want it hard enough, and you need to be more positive. In this way it's inherently impossible to prove that positivity doesn't work. As a side note, that illustrator is super talented. I was mesmerized.
