"The first lesson of "Reflections on Trusting Trust" (and more formal studies of trust in systems) may be that every component is suspect; but the second is that it's impossible to get anything done without assigning trust relationships throughout the system."

Seems to me transitive logic leads to a third lesson, and a grim one at that: "Anything of practical use can and likely will be pwned. Deal with it if you wish to use a computer."
