Am confused about the down votes. Does it mean that you think: a, this is a trivial quote(not having an interesting/thought-provoking insight?) b, It's too vague and ambiguous. c, We just don't know the source?

Can someone elaborate, am genuinely curious. This quote came up over a discussion with a colleague, and was such an "Aha" moment for me i remember it even now after 3 years. May be it's too obvious for other less-wrongers?

It's nothing more than a pun.

The trust that I place in another person is not two dimensional where there a real and imaginary part.

Even trust that isn't based on good information isn't imaginary.
