build trust. if you don't take a stand you can lose people's trust. if you end up doing the opposite of what you say it's even worse and you are clearly a liar. perceptions of trust and honesty are built through words and actions.

If you deliberately build a system that requires trust when it's possible to build one the doesn't, you are doing something wrong.

you are looking at 'trust' from a very technical perspective. and you are right there, but not everyone understands cryptography to talk about trust just from that perspective, that's just a small part, and a statement from Telegram surely takes into account a much broader audience. that's all I was trying to express, that we can't analyze the statement from that angle alone.
