So because someone seems sincere and charming we must automatically assume he/she has bad intentions even with no evidence? I get that we must remain skeptical but to be “scared” of anyone especially charming seems ridiculous IMHO.

No, I didn't mean to say that it was necessarily bad, just that this sincerity/charm is simply power. And we should rightfully be wary of power. And least this woman was, and I agree. Predicting how it will be used (good vs bad) is a significant part of our work in the world :)
