And trust isn't binary, there's a full spectrum of gray between
"Trusted" and "Untrusted". Every little bit of nudging toward the
trusted end has tangible benefits, even if we don't ever get all the way
there.

Heck, I don't even have my own senses or thought processes all the way
at the "Trusted" end of the spectrum. They've screwed me in the past and
will no doubt do so again in the future.
