then it is not possible to build a trusted CPU.
You watch while... I collect wood and ore and smelt into axe, you trust axe. I split tree and assemble hut, you trust hut. I put wheel in water and make mill, you trust flour. I give you magical computer before I make abacus, you throw in river and order me make abacus first. Eventually trusted CPU is made.
Woah! How many years to build the tool chain to a trusted CPU?
Also, how many people? And how to trust them? One bad apple, you know.
