This is an enormous difference to an honest truster. From Wordnik.com. [Does Hansen's Error "Matter"? « Climate Audit] Reference

An automatic consequence is that the truster has no way of distinguishing good advice from bad. From Wordnik.com. [The God Delusion]

This should make an enormous difference to a truster, as it is clear confirmation that his trust was misplaced. From Wordnik.com. [Does Hansen's Error "Matter"? « Climate Audit] Reference
But this person may also have to be committed in a certain way or for a certain reason (e.g. s/he cares about the truster). From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
Alternatively, the truster in a relationship can introduce the constraints by requiring that the trustee sign a contract, for example. From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
According to it, a trustee who is actually trustworthy will act out of goodwill toward the truster, to what or to whom the trustee is entrusted with or both. From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
The theory also implies that the reasons for trusting well (i.e., in a justified way) are accessible to the truster, at some point or another, which may be false. From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
The truster therefore cannot assume, while trusting, that the trustee will do what s/he is trusted to do because the trustee has no legitimate choice in the matter. From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference

The truster might try to reduce this risk by monitoring or imposing certain constraints on the behavior of the trustee; but, after a certain threshold perhaps, the more monitoring and constraining s/he does, the less s/he trusts that person. From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
To illustrate how each of these dimensions is relevant, note first that trust is only warranted (in the sense of being plausible) when the truster is willing to accept the conditions that accompany the act of trusting (e.g., the assumption of a degree of risk). From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
An alternative to the social contract view is a view according to which trustworthy people are motivated by their own interest to maintain the relationship they have with the truster, which in turn encourages them to encapsulate the interests of that person in their own interests. From Wordnik.com. [Trust] Reference
My point here is that being motivated by a desire to maintain a relationship (the central motivation of a trustworthy person on the encapsulated interests view) may not require one to adopt all of the interests of the truster that would actually make one trustworthy to that person.
