We may all love Uncle Ernie but we also know we just can't trust that he'll be home for dinner on time.
Bob's work may only be of average quality, but we can trust that he'll submit it in time.
You can trust Jane to always include references for her work, you don't even have to ask her, just as much as you can't trust Dave to include them.
Sonja is always ready to say the right thing but you can't trust her to implement according to her stated plan, she tends to do her own thing (which is, sometimes, the better idea)
We can trust Anika to stick to her stated plan no matter what gets in her way (even if the plans are not that good)
