“Trust, but verify” has a fundamental flaw: it presupposes that all parties have the equal opportunity to verify. However in most cases there is a power imbalance. One party has the power and influence to verify while others have no choice but to trust or walk away. Human nature being what it is, if you aren’t in the position to verify then you should probably walk away.

I’m tired today.
