You've just restated the original post and ignored my question. Again: how does this definition of supposed trust differ from distrust in any verifiable way?

You've just restated the original post and ignored my question. Again: how does this definition of supposed trust differ from distrust in any verifiable way?
- scarejunba 7y agoIt affects our interaction. Because I assume you'll act in good faith, I only add verification in the range of errors not in the range of malice.
- stupidcar 7y agoIt seems to me that the range of human error is rarely smaller than that of malice, so again I'm not sure there will be much apparent difference between an exhaustive verification of either sort.
- scarejunba 7y agoIs that true in your interactions with other people? I have not seen that be the case. The distribution is very different.

- fbarred 7y agoTrust but verify: I will trust you will do X, and will do Y in return, but I will verify that you are actually doing X. Example: mutual disarmament treaties with Soviet Union, Iran nuclear deal. Don't trust: I will not even engage with you and will not do Y. Example: the belief by some that US should not engage in high-level diplomatic talks with North Korea on disarmament because North Korea has no incentive to follow through on its promises.
