I don't know about this one... how would we have ever passed down knowledge to achieve the level of technical competence we have today if we didn't trust anyone?
My statement is admittedly a character flaw. I was betrayed and screwed over so much in the past that I can't help it. But there is some validity in my madness. Issues and things should be studied and researched rather than taken on face value. That's when trouble starts!
