No we are talking about the same "intent." Your response was to the point being articulated in the two parent posts.

>"Some people in this thread have suggested Google dropped out because they couldn't meet specifications to get certifications, that's the cynical interpretation"

No the cynical interpretation is that your company dropped out of this Pentagon business due to some moral considerations.

"cynical": "believing that people are motivated by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity."

Believing Google dropped out due to moral considerations is by definition, the idealistic interpretation. At this point, I'm not sure we're even speaking the same language anymore, so lets end it here.
