I don't normally comment on grammar issues, but I just can't get your use of the word "ingenuous" out of my head.
My first thought was that you meant disingenuous. And that makes sense in the context of your sentence.
But then I checked if ingenuous is even a word... and it is: "showing innocent or childlike simplicity and candidness" or " lacking craft or subtlety". And those sort of work in the context of the sentence too.
So either it was a typo, a misunderstanding of english word formation, a brain fart, or an intentional use of an uncommon word by someone far more articulate than I.
