I think that's probably the most logical explanation. However what gives me pause is that India have certainly put in a more professional domestic and national structure. And as you have pointed out, any "mental frailty" that may have occurred in past Pak/India clashes is gone. I think that's a bad omen for Pakistan in the ongoing rivalry.
Basically what it all boils down to is that I'm tired of hearing it from my Indian mates after yet another loss to them and I need some reassurance this is not going to be a two decade long dominance!
