Yes, you trust the schematic and its netlist. If it is wrong, then the person that did the schematic screwed up. Now of course you can tell them you spotted something, like a power pin that was floating because they were using hidden pins and forgot to connect the right name, but don't fix it for them. Alert them and have them drive the fix.
