[[ | It is not [[reputation]] although positive regard, informally called "reputation", can play a major role in deciding whose assertions to believe, or at least which to investigate first. However it does not ''establish'' authoritative integrity - that takes an [[audit]] process, and that process has a form of [[investigative integrity]] which is different. | ||
To understand the contrast, consider what happens when you see a term on a label like "fun" or "new" or "more" or "clean" on a label. There is no control or trust model behind these words, so you dismiss them as [[propaganda]]. | [[Trademark]], [[standard label]]s and anything that you can [[audit]] is believed to have some degree of this integrity, or people wouldn't act one way when they saw the mark/label, and another way when they don't. [[Brand management]] is the active attempt to interfere with such integrity measures. | ||

See [[repute]] and [[interwiki identity standard]] and [[faction]] for some related concerns. Probably any trust model is mostly [[factionally defined]], as acts that cause one group to trust you more will make others trust you less. | |||
