I agree with you that they are trying to appeal to us but I don't think innocence is
the
right word. I mrean i don't think it is innocence that is being appealed to.
To me inncocence would be a condition of not being subject to cynicism, avarice,
giving to
get, etc Adults have lost this a long time ago.
I think they are using their guile to appeal to our sentimental, wistful parts, or even
our compassion but not innocence.
Innocence is to be guilt free(not in feeling!), without guile and other stuff of the
matured human ego.
