> trust but verify
I would like to phrase this as “trust and verify”, because the state of trust arises from being open to verifiability, contrary to common misconception that they are against each other.

- lupire 3y agoIt's short for "trust, but also verify". They are naturally against each other, which is why the "but" statement is meaningful. "Slow and steady" vs "fast but steady". "Move fast and break things" vs "move fast but don't break things".
- nvm0n2 3y agoIt should be "trust because you verify". The other phrases don't really make sense.
