Oi, you are talkin' like commies mate. How come?
Jokes aside, if you played the game, you already knew how stupid it sounds. Stop making excuses for others please. Everyone with decent amount of intelligence find it idiotic, illogical, beyond stupid even. Anyway, you are not doing any favors to developer or writer here; we should show their mistakes and slap some sense into them. Even if they don't bother to fix this specific issue, perhaps next time...
Note: May be I'm exaggerating your intentions, you simply don't know how serious trust issues work. Well, I do and it is nothing to do with being a good or bad person. I can explain how they actually think and act with examples, I can also give you bad person with trust issues and good person with trust issues examples as well... if you ask reeeaaallly nicely.
