I sense that many people consider organizations and groups of people as a definite thing. A country, the Google, the Facebook, etc, talk about these like if they were a reliably formed predictable object or entity. While those are an ever changing blob composed of ever chaning composition of people with ever changing views, intentions and agenda in an ever changing environment. Any relationships with those are momentarily only. Relying on promises from those? Like building a house on a solid cloud. No such thing. The saying is especially true in case of big entities formed of humans: a promise is like a fart, you hold it while you can.
