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

- dingaling 8y ago> Trust but verify That phrase just distills down to 'verify'. Or more generously 'verify and extrapolate' but it still lacks trust.
- twizzlers 8y agoWrong, 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.
