@pluralistic reminds me of Heinleins competent man (does everything, settles the planet, cures the virus, wins the war while raising 5 children as a single dad) device. And I think it does have some merit in that some problems can only be solved by people with extraordinary levels of self confidence... but that's about as far as it goes. After all, wishing for the disaster to occur is only a tiny step from causing it on purpose.
