I see how such tests can filter out people who blindly agree to everything (and then don't deliver). On the other hand I think this is a bit underhanded? dising

  Trust but verify. People have died at festivals and concerts because the venues didn't follow the event organizers' instructions.

    > Trust but verify That phrase just distills down to 'verify'. Or more generously 'verify and extrapolate' but it still lacks trust.

      Wrong, when paranoia replaces trust, no agreement gets struck, and business halts. If I don't trust you, I don't even speak to you. I don't buy a sandwich from you, I don't buy a car from you, I don't fly planes over your territory without mach 3 interceptor escorts armed to the teeth. If I trust you, but double check you, I buy the sandwich, but I don't leave the counter without opening up the bag, unwrapping the paper and checking for onions. I buy the car, but have a third party mechanic inspect it. I fly the plane through the territory, but also observe from orbital satellites, just in case.

  They aren’t fake requirements. They are trivial requirements that are relatively simple with which to comply and the penalties are so stiff that not complying means that they didn’t carefully read the thing. On the other hand, the performers that demand a specific bottle of water hand bottled from a hidden Indonesian spring and blessed by a shaman — that’s venturing into jackass-pop diva territory. M&Ms are everywhere in America, so it’s an easy requirement that canaries adherence to the rest of the contract details.
