I think reasonable people _want_ to be trustworthy. Simple. No need to
impress them first. Only unreasonable people would think:
"I'm trustworthy only if you impress me first."
"I'm trustworthy only for the people who are important enough."
"I can judge better which things are secrets and which are not."
"I may reveal secrets of people who I consider unimportant."
If a recipient sends my encrypted text as plain text I know that he is
not trustworthy. But this can also be the problem of tools, and my
original message was more about that.
