Holy Christ someone using disingenuous appropriately, I'd almost given up on the word. Thanks for saving it!

How exactly is it usually misused? Its use here matches every other time I've seen it as far as I can tell

I always see it being used in place or dishonest for people who think they are the same and feel it makes them sound more intelligent.

I can tell you’re being ingenuous and I believe you

Oh didn’t know it was misused!
