Maybe? Maybe not. I think like most quotes there's some truth there, but it's much more subtle.
I would say that seniors have the experience to know that this seemingly quick fix isn't going to work long term -- because they've done/seen it in the past and know it will blow up on them. New developers lack that experience.
I think a more interesting question would be to look at pessimists and optimists and see if there are some interesting data points there.

I think the pessimist/optimist question is interesting. I agree that the behaviour is more tied to traits of the person rather than seniority.
