I wish people would stop using the naked word "trust".
US currency says "In God we trust".
I can't think of any human I trust without qualification. For people, I
might say the words "I trust her", but I always finish those words with the
thought "to ________" or "to be __________".
This idea that we can establish trust or communicate it is a sample of
sloppy speaking, AFAIAC. That's why we didn't call a <tag> "(trust ...)".
