[MD] Straw Men and the Primacy of Trust

[Ian Glendinning]

More good stuff Matt, I hope people are reading you carefully ...

This sums it up for me ...

"... people don't like being accused of dishonesty.  It's hard for a
conversation to recover from that.  The implied context I was thinking
of was the MD, and as an on-going discussion, I'm thinking of the
behavioral-social rules of thumb that would best lead to its
maintenance."

Me too, etc ...
