In obvious cases like that, I agree with you. In real life however my dependencies are rarely that simple. So let's imagine a REST API library that needs disk and network access to do it's work. How do I know it doesn't abuse my permission? And what about its transient dependencies?

But why would a REST API library need disk access? If it required that, it would raise suspicion for me.

  Maybe it support serving files (static content)? Or writing them to disk? Either way can we rather argue the point instead of the example?
