Assuming that people will make mistakes writing code isn't distrust, it's just common sense.

If someone is a good developer, I trust their first cut of code will be well thought out. I don't assume that they considered all corner cases or found the best design or written things in a way that makes sense to other people on the first try.

Things go downhill if people start taking code reviews personally, but then I don't think the real problem is code reviews.

Are you then assuming that the person who will review the code will consider everything?
