Since the latter two issues are not transparent, trust and character may be relevant.

Great points, Peter. I use what I know or have learned about a person to make a decision about whether or not they can be trusted or how much I can trust them. Seems silly to disregard information that is provided but we all live our lives the way we see fit. Where there is smoke there is fire. If you do not want to see the smoke then you can get burned in the fire.
