<p>Trust to the extent that if the person says something, then you’ll trust him/her to the extent that you’ll cite the person’s statement when you self-justify the validity of a position/statement to yourself (or when you justify the validity of the position to someone who does not hold anything against the person?)</p>

<p>Or in shorter terms, if X says it is so, then you’re content with believing that it is true. </p>

<p>Thomas Friedman, author and NYT columnist</p>

<p>I won’t go against the Enlightenment and just follow whatever he prints but I generally believe him to be honest and informed.</p>
