That's just false. You can get all of the trust information necessary from the client. It's exactly the same amount of trust.

edit: To be clear, even if they open sourced the server right now, I would not even look at the code to determine if running the client was safe. The only time I would care to look at the server code is if the client's correct operation depends on the server running specific code. If it doesn't do that, then the server code doesn't matter. And if it does do that, I wouldn't trust the system, anyway.
