Comment on Trust but Verifyparent

Comments

Trust is a product of statistical evidence and probabilities. How does trust builds up? By observing that the source you monitor is very often right. How does one lose trust? By observing that the source is not right often enough. If you cannot or don't want to verify it's not trust, it is blind faith. Trust only allows you to assume that your source is right when you cannot (afford to) verify.
