I can't see Magneto as the better man here. He's convinced that mutants and normals CANNOT live together in peace.
I think it would be basically impossible for Xavier to truly be naive, since he's telepathic. He KNOWS the horrible things that people think about mutants. OTOH, this also gives him the knowledge that it's impossible for the quest for mutant acceptance to be anything other than a long, painful struggle.
