If you are going to make very confident claims, you need a very strong basis. That’s one sense in which you need trustworthiness. But if you are not going to make very confident claims,you needn’t worry.
If you are going to promote a narrow epistemology based on , for instance just science, or just Bayes, then you a justification for it that doesn’t also justify everything you want to exclude from your narrow epistemology.
