a hard or impossible problem?

a while ago when prepping for my APs, I came across the paper "Reflections on Trusting 'Trustlessness' in the Era of Crypto/Blockchains" (Georgiadis,E.) available here: https://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/cbit-4-2.pdf and found some parts very illuminating.

It makes reference to a paper by Kuhn called Backdoor Engineering and advances that point to a concept the author calls conceptual corruption. Under this light, zero trust architectures are impossible.

My fellow classmate a CS nerd made an additional point about the paper reflections on trust. it was beyond me.
