Most computer scientists feel that P != NP and it's just a matter of figuring out a way to prove it.
Then it's a good thing computer science isn't driven by feelings.
You'd be surprised by how much of it (mathematics) is. You obviously can't prove anything with gut feeling, but you can sure find things to prove with it.
It is possible for something to be unknown and still boring, not "magical" or "intriguing".
People have personal preferences, I suppose. But the approach to kill the magic seems weird - I'd expect things to become more magical the more I learn about them.
