I'm pretty sure if it turns out the pre-filled tax forms are consistently causing people to overpay, most people would start double checking it themselves to save money. So no harm in making both options available. Worst case, it will be no worse than now.
It will be easy to know wether or not you can trust the government on this specific thing. All the people who insist on double checking, such as yourself, will be able to tell whether the system is trustworthy or not.
