This is not about trust. Most people, when they report a problem, think
they know what they are talking about. But many problems aren't
onesided and different people have different opinions and often the
commonly used method is not really officially correct. By requiring the
reference we first get a documented reference to some material which
peolpe who don't agree with the changes can review and also it means the
submitter is forced to look up the true official use (not the
colloquialism).
