As long as you're relying on trust, you're in trouble. Trust and verify. Of course, you have to trust the verification, but that trust can in turn be validated (harder to falsify stress to failure results than "yeah, it'll work" assertsions). It's part of why testing exists.
Of course -- in fact, verification serves to enhance and sustain trust, the two are complementary. But not relying on blind trust doesn't make it any less daft to employ people you don't have trust in.
