Trust is a mountaineer’s rope made from the laces of dead climbers’ shoes. It is predicated on truth values but incorporates fallibility because often the thing you trust, or the class of thing you trust, has been known to fail. Scientists sometimes lie, air planes occasionally fall from the sky. Trust becomes a matter of probability, if you’re so inclined to calculate it. If not, let someone calculate it for you and trust their results.
