It does seem reasonable to me that a different word than "trustworthy" could have been used, before leaving you to ponder. A different word to convey the point that he and everyone is fallible; but one not universally interpreted to imply character or priority shortcomings. Because I do think "untrustworthy" is *never* even merely an ambiguous word, it is a baaad word.
And sorry, now having just seen this and looking back on my posts today, I realize that they were the exact last thing you needed to hear when you've been feeling especially bad lately. And you still made a selfless effort to defend the profession despite your own doubts lately. I apologize if I made anything worse. : (
