Trust but verify only applies to people not pseudo legal entities that have at most a few hundred years of legal history that will likely change again in the next 1,000 years.
People acting behalf on these entities don’t deserve your unearned trust.

I never said that. I just don't want to be permanently surrounded by assholes. Presuming the other side is an asshole is a good way to end up in that situation.
Trust, but verify. You shouldn't set yourself up to get massively screwed if a corporate pinky swear falls through. But if you act like an asshole in ever interaction, you're going to select for people who find that the norm.
