Actually faith was the original sin of the CoV. It was renamed to
dogmatism during the great phaith wars of '99 because some vocal
members equated faith with trust without regard for the validity
of the trust.
[metahuman]
The validity of trust is situationally-dependent and still trust is inherently irrational.
The TRUST in "God" as an example is an irrational trust.
The TRUST in your peer(s) to do a good job based on their past efforts is also irrational for TRUST is also hope. It's a suggestion.
With that said, the fact that trust is irrational does not mean that trust is always a bad decision. It only means that trust has a higher chance of leading to the wrong decision than say, scientific or rational inquiry and acceptance of truth based on the results of extensive analyses. The same goes without saying: a rational action does not always lead to a good decision. It just means that action has a higher chance of leading to a good decision.
