And even in this case: it's only "distrust" if other's motives aren't bad in the first place.
If people in general have bad motives in IT (lazyness, profit, unprofessionalism etc) it's not "cynicism" to say so.
It's merely calling a spade a spade.
I'm more reffering to the "bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic" meaning of the lemma though.
Where again, if contempt is waranteed and if the situation is dire, it's not cynical to be "contemptuous" or "pessimistic" is just realistical description.
