Trust is conjunctive: You need confidence from ALL parts of yourself (gut feeling AND rational analysis AND past experience AND intuition) to truly trust
Distrust is disjunctive: ANY single red flag or suspicious element can trigger distrust
(this is from Claude, maybe rephrase)
> This is why trust is hard to build but easy to break - it requires everything to align (conjunctive), while distrust can arise from any single concern (disjunctive).
It's similar to how in logic:
AND statements fail if ANY component is false (conjunctive failure)
OR statements succeed if ANY component is true (disjunctive success)
