It's never
foolish to assume good faith.
Someone opens your car door when you're stopped in traffic, points a
gun at you and tells you to get out of the car. Do you assume they're
trying to steal your car, or do you assume they're in a really really
big hurry and genuinely need it?
That guy has given overt proof of his lack of good
faith. It's no
longer a question of assumptions.
