This is such an interesting view. I understand this as you accept being taken for an idiot, if it's in your interest. And you accept that the person making that decision has your interest in mind. Do I understand you correctly?
Myself I prefer having all the facts and drawing my own conclusions, being able to ask questions and consider all options. I'm capable of it, and people in power are seldom there based on competence.
Edit: I see I fell for Poe's law. Thank god.
