In the 1950s, it was the standard, at least in the United States, that, all things being equal, a man was as good as his word:

Arrogance
The Cult of Herbert Armstrong is full of itself, puffed up in full arrogance, confident in its overweening ego, that the only truth is here with them and you dare not go anywhere else because, if you do, disasters will surely follow, you will be in deep trouble, you will have terrible problems...
