The AP doesn't prove any such thing to the client in PSK mode. If I scan your house, and write down your AP SSID and BSSID, I can later follow you to a coffee shop, spoof your home AP, get your device to connect, and then glean enough key derived material to go away and bruteforce your password. What you can't do, afaik, is the opposite (coax an AP to give up key derived material)... of course many APs have their own problems.
By modern standards the authentication protocol used in WPA2-PSK is dire. You should use long random keys (something like 9oc46NLMbq7ujAEgXcQU), anything dictionary based puts you at real risk.
