As trust is fundamentally a voluntary act. Trust involves choosing to rely on or have confidence in someone or something. By its very nature, trust cannot be forced. 1. Trust is a personal choice: It's a decision made by an individual based on their own judgment, experiences, and perceptions. 2. Trust requires vulnerability: When we trust, we willingly make ourselves vulnerable, believing the other party will not take advantage of that vulnerability. 3. Trust is built over time: It's typically developed through consistent positive interactions and experiences, not through coercion. 4.Forced compliance is not trust: If someone is compelled to act as if they trust something, it's not genuine trust but rather obedience under duress. 5. Trust can be withdrawn: Because trust is given voluntarily, it can also be taken away by the person who gave it. No one else can remove your ability to trust or distrust. Sorry, but it makes no sense at all.

Ah, well circling back to the "words have meaning" point, that isn't a comprehensive understanding of what trust means - you're overly loading it on one aspect of the word. For example, Cambridge dictionary includes the meaning "to hope and expect that something is true" [0]. Trust doesn't require a personal choice built up over time. Some types of trust do, but that isn't a factor here as you can detected from the context. Trust is actually quite a flexible concept - you can catch some other interesting applications in security with ideas like "trusted systems" which people also may not trust in the personal sense even though they will agree that the system is trusted. That leads to awkward situations where a system can be a trusted system even if it is known to be compromised. You also get interesting things like "Trust" in the legal sense that showcase a similar flexibility. Just to preempt a possible next comment, if you identify that one reading of a word doesn't make sense in context, the reasonable thing to do is to try the alternate readings to see which ones fit.
