I like this site and I use it very often. It seems to me that it is not necessary to inflate the situation. Everything is much easier and if you constantly try to find a catch, you will not trust anything. ICObench is a great and useful site, so do not talk about it in this way
I don't think "Trust but Verify" is strong enough for crypto. You have to assume everything, no matter how legitimate looking, is a scam and has to be proven otherwise, which isn't easy. Too much easy money for scammers, so they are constantly coming up with clever ways to get take your assets.
