or strongly trust my rationality

Or your honesty.

That is, if you say to me "I flipped this coin 1000 times and recorded the results in this Excel spreadsheet, which shows 600 heads and 400 tails," all I have to believe is that you really did flip the coin 1000 times and record the results. That assumes you're honest, but sets a pretty low lower bound for your rationality.
