There's a lot of good cryptography and game theory and economic incentive alignment that can be done to constrain and limit the trust assumptions people have to make. But ultimately, all this does is redistribute and dilute those trust assumptions. It doesn't eliminate them. There is no such thing as "trustlessness".

I do think there is. For instance, I can convince you that two graphs are not isomorphic while avoiding you the burden of having to do the computation yourself.
