Gah, what a load of gibberish. Trust is a 3-ary function of the form: trust :: Person -> Task -> Scenario -> Boolean And is defined as: trust p t s = (need_to_trust p t s) && (willing_to_trust p t s) It is not this, as you so absurdly claim: trust p t s = willing_to_trust p -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
