I don't know if there's a word for it, but the mentality or personality trait or whatever that makes people hand-wave away completely predictable outcomes until they actually happen

I was talking to an academic friend of mine who works in a CS theory group in a top university. He told me now only 2 out of 10 members of the group work on theory anymore, the rest are doing applied/industry projects.
