Cynisum is an approach based on how you react to people.
cyn·i·cism
/ˈsinəˌsizəm/
noun: cynicism; noun: Cynicism
1. an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest; skepticism.
"public cynicism about politics"
synonyms: skepticism, doubt, distrust, mistrust, suspicion, disbelief; More
pessimism, negativity, world-weariness, disenchantment
"theirs was a childhood of absent parents and broken promises, so cynicism was hardly a surprise"
•an inclination to question whether something will happen or whether it is worthwhile; pessimism.
"cynicism about the future"
2. a school of ancient Greek philosophers, the Cynics.

In my opinion, this has all about people, and nothing to do with husbandry. To me, their is no need to believe in anything people say, here or in books or articules. They simply offer information to help us do something with our animals. Not to believe in.
I was taught(luckily) early in my education, that biology was all about be "pragmatic"
prag·ma·tism, noun: pragmatism
1. a pragmatic attitude or policy.
"ideology was tempered with pragmatism"
2. Philosophy
an approach that assesses the truth of meaning of theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.

Nunber two, is what's important here. husbandry is based on being pragmatic.
"prag·mat·ic, adjective: pragmatic
dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations.
"a pragmatic approach to politics"
synonyms: practical, matter-of-fact, sensible, down-to-earth, commonsensical, businesslike, having both/one's feet on the ground, hardheaded, no-nonsense;
That you even entertain believing anything written, over actual results is out of place in this area. This is not a forum for theory, husbandry is applied technique. To verify anything said here is based on application and application only.
