Which trust model? Why is it more unreasonable for you to trust the
customer than for the customer to trust you? Yes, there are dishonest
customers, but there are also vendors who fail to deliver what they
promise. Given a choice between three companies, one of which asks me
to trust him, one of which posts a performance bond and one of which
doesn't use a key at all, I'll pick the latter over the first two. I
haven't seen any of the second type,

Just as not all vendors are trustworthy.
