As is so often found, there are multiple nuanced definitions of a
word, "trust" being the word in the current case.

Simply as a personal definition, trust is that state wherein I accept
assertions at face value and do so because I have effective recourse
should having let my guard down later prove to have been unwise.

Restated as logic,

   If I can trust, then I have effective recourse.

and in contrapositive

   If I have no effective recourse, then I cannot trust.


YMMV,
