This here thing, knowledge based trust, it ain’t so simple. Like, you gotta know a fella before you can trust him, right? It ain’t just shaking hands and calling it a day. You gotta watch ’em, see how they act. You need see what they done before. Then you can guess what they gonna do next.
Now, this here knowledge based trust, it’s like knowing your neighbor’s dog. If that dog always barking and biting, you ain’t gonna trust it, are ya? But if that dog always wagging its tail and licking your hand, then you might trust it to be nice. See? It’s all about what you know about that there dog.
Say there’s a man driving a taxi, he gotta get from here to there. If he done it before, if he knows the way, well, that’s knowledge. He knows the roads, he knows the shortcuts. He’s got the knowledge to get you there, so you kinda trust him more, don’t ya? That’s this knowledge based trust thing.

- You gotta know a person good.
- You gotta see what they done before.
- You gotta have some knowledge about them.
They say this knowledge based trust, it can be about them websites, too. Like, if a website’s always telling lies, then folks ain’t gonna trust it. But if a website always telling the truth, then folks will trust it more. I don’t know much about them websites, but I reckon it’s the same idea as trusting a person.
Now, this trust, it ain’t something you just give away. You gotta earn it. Like, if I always borrowing sugar from my neighbor and never paying her back, she ain’t gonna trust me no more, is she? But if I always pay her back, then she’ll trust me to keep my word. Trust is important.
Some folks, they say trust is like a guessing game. You see what someone did before, and you guess what they gonna do next. If they always did good before, you guess they gonna do good again. That’s how you build up this knowledge based trust. It’s like planting seeds. You gotta water them seeds, tend to ’em, and then maybe, just maybe, you’ll get a good crop. This trust, it’s the same way. Gotta put that knowledge in it.
Knowledge based trust, it means you can kinda guess what someone’s gonna do, ’cause you know ’em so well. Like, if my old man always comes home late on Fridays, I can guess he’s gonna be late again this Friday. It ain’t rocket science. It’s just knowing someone and what they like and don’t like.
- Trust takes time to build, like a good strong fence.
- You need to see how a person acts before you trust ’em.
- If a person’s always honest, you can trust ’em more.
This here thing, about them computers knowing if a website is telling the truth, that’s beyond me. But I reckon it’s the same idea. If a computer sees a website always saying things that ain’t true, it won’t trust it. But if the website always saying true things, then the computer will learn to trust it. It all comes down to knowledge, you see. You gotta have the knowledge to know what’s true and what ain’t.
And this knowledge based trust, it ain’t just about people. It’s about everything. Like, if you buy a car from a fella who’s always selling bad cars, you ain’t gonna trust him, are ya? But if he’s always selling good cars, then you might trust him to sell you a good one, too. Knowledge about that car salesman is important.
So, this knowledge based trust, it’s about knowing things. Knowing people, knowing websites, knowing cars, knowing dogs. It’s about using what you know to decide who and what you can trust. It ain’t always easy, but it’s how things work. And if you don’t have trust, you ain’t got much.
This knowledge about a person, it helps you decide if you can trust ’em. Like, if a fella’s always lying, you ain’t gonna trust him to tell the truth, are ya? But if he’s always honest, then you can trust him more. It’s just common sense, really. This knowledge based trust, it’s all about using your common sense.
They say them computers, they using this knowledge based trust to figure out which websites are good and which ones ain’t. I don’t know how they do it, but I reckon it’s like sorting good apples from bad ones. You gotta know what a good apple looks like and what a bad apple looks like. Then you can use that knowledge to sort ’em out. That’s knowledge based trust, I guess. The computer is sorting out the good sites with that knowledge.
