the attitude remindes me of maintaining game-servers and looking out for cheaters; once we had a handful of folks looking out for cheaters, it turned the community against itself calling everybody a cheater...
i think it is good to be cautious; but overall it's the same cat and mouse game we've seen before.
i can only say good luck on not letting it stress you out second guessing other folks actions and intent - and hope we continue writing code for humans to read vs the cryptic, obstrufcated, even "elegant" code (not to dive into the skill issue rabbit hole lol)
