> "Never trust the client" is good advice for every kind of application. Clients are filthy liars.
It's true that you can't trust clients not to lie. However, in some situations, it's the correct decision to accept a constrained number of lies if that brings you benefits.
Like so many other absolute statements in software, in reality it's a trade off, and you need to consider the business context to make the right decision.
