Link doesn't load, so with only the title to go on...

It feels like it's implying that sincere is the opposite of cynical? But someone (me) could be sincerely cynical. Or falsely optimistic.

In any case, signaling sincerity sounds a bit like fighting for peace, and doesn't give me high hopes for this article whenever we do get to find out what it says.

(It _is_ sort of fun to have this playground though, where we can all just freely admit we didn't read the article, and riff off the title alone)

I don't think they intend sincerity to be the opposite of cynicism. I think the idea is that people, being cynical, will assume that you are insincere. Presumably, TFA tells you how to avoid that.

So if you are sincerely cynical, how would people tell you that they are being sincere (when your assumption is that they are not)?

No idea, since I can't read TFA either.
