Cynical? That's literally the gist of it.

Cynical, no doubt. But unwarranted?

Realistically cynical is the description I'd use.

Perhaps steer clear of questioning whether he was correct to guess your meaning when following it with a line that confirms you were indeed being cynical. Not saying you are wrong to be cynical, but you are (as am I).

Interesting article. But shouldn't the word be skeptical instead of cynical in the last sentence?

Cynical yes, but some people do really good work and just end up in the position because of it.

Too much painting with a broad brush and trying to redefine a word normally reserved for an Ace team member.
