    Trust is when you have reason to suspect that someone will fulfill their stated commitments. In computer systems, all you have is trust. You trust that each component will work as advertised. When they do not, you have breakdowns. You can patch and work around... but at some level, trust is the dominant paradigm without which nothing can be accomplished.

    No, I'm sorry, simul, but you are wrong again.
