A side pedantry note, in the hopes that it's appreciated:

Usually "more ingenuous" would mean "more naive" or "more childlike" or "less capable of deceit", none of which seem to be what you intended.

Ah, I did not know of the naive/childlike connotation. I was simply using it as a synonym for something like candid, frank, truthful.

Thanks.
