Fine-grained discrimination of whom to trust limits the role of noncognitive trust.

Evidence

If it is true that humans are characterized by a lack of fine-tuning and a tendency to go to extremes (Elster 1983), the assumption that trust will emerge naturally is singularly unjustified. — Diego Gambetta, Trust - Making and Breaking Cooperative…, 2811 (#complicates, via linked claim)
