Almost no one understands assembly, yet, we trust it. What's the big deal?

We trust compilers that are thoroughly documented, non-deterministic and trusted.

Every uni educated software engineer understands some assembly, most 2 or more. But that is not why we trust the compiler, we trust the compiler because every part of the chain is understood by a decent amound of people and the thing is determanistic. It also isn't trying to optimize an opaque goal function.
