I certainly trust it. But just because I trust it, it doesn't mean that any
additional checks have no value.
Sure it does. If the credentials are always correct, additional checks
past that are a waste of cycles. I ask again: do you have a legitimate
use case? Is there _any_ case that other checks can succeed that this
invented test of yours would catch?
