Examples

“I think there's a huge segment of the scientific population who in their hearts know that this is disingenuine.”
“In response to this, first of all I do not believe you can throw a psychological switch to turn person-centredness on and off. Either the relational values and principles of the approach are internalised into your being as a functioning person, or they are not. And if they are not, then to portray them in the therapeutic encounter as if they are is at best disingenuine and at worst a deception.”
“Modern government use of “counter”-terrorism is emphatically disingenuine. As declared governmental policy during the French revolution, “terrorism” had at least the advantage of avoiding hypocrisy.”
