It is apparent that I am not sensible to the tone of the expression "the method “could apply to any of more than 10,000 conditions..."
Is it said in a joyful and enthusiastic expectations? Or does it still carry a hint of sarcasm?
Thanks in advance

The advent of CRISPR, a powerful gene-editing technique, has inspired hopes that gene therapy might finally fulfill expectations. Researchers recently employed CRISPR in human embryos to counteract a mutation that causes heart disease. “Potentially,” The New York Times reported last month, the method “could apply to any of more than 10,000 conditions caused by specific inherited mutations.”
