The full Firehose provides two major verification features. First it includes a signature that can be validated letting you know the updates are signed by the repo owner. Second, by providing the MST proof, it makes it hard or impossible for the repo owner to omit any changes to the repo contents in the Firehose events. If some records are created or deleted without emitting events, the next event emitted will show that something's not right and you should re-sync your copy of the repo to understand what changed.
