This is only partially right. Software engineering is hard. But trust is harder. Much much harder. And most things you have to trust people with just doesn't matter.

However, in the future where software can do everything, there is no such thing as "limited trust." If you trust someone to operate on your car, you are trusting them with everything the car interacts with. Which... quickly explodes to everything.
