- ivraatiems 10y agoI think distrust based on a small amount of fraud is a problem of perception, not a problem with the system. That is, it's the same as fearing you'll get serious side effects with a vaccine because a very small number of people do. In both cases, the risk/reward is out of whack, but you might worry anyway.
- specialist 10y agoFraud is indistinguishable from error. Ignore intent and focus on prevention, like a QA/test person would. I'm kinda thick headed, so it took me too long to figure this out on my own.
