Trust can become complacency if the issue does not affect someone directly, or even if it is.There is also a trust that is associated with a profession, such as medicine, security, the clergy, and science where trust should subject to the credibility and conduct of an individual, which may not be along the guidelines of the profession.

People like to be told there is nothing to worry about, that nothing is wrong, especially when it is not true. Trust can become complacency if the issue does not affect someone directly, or even if it is.There is also a trust that is associated with a profession, such as medicine, security, the clergy, and science where trust should subject to the credibility and conduct of an individual, which may not be along the guidelines of the profession. Anyone claiming to have any credibilty, can say anything, and some people will believe them because of a news report. Judging a book before they've seen the cover.

There are too many people afraid to say "I don't know", when that is the first step in finding an answer, and what is expected to be found must not have a prejudicial effect on the method, or we can invite more trouble than we can understand, or deal with. Would someone jump off a cliff because a "scientist" assured them they had invented an antigravity device, while also appealing to their wallet, and their vanity? Yes ! - That statement may have been speculation, but try and prove it wrong.
