It is hoped that the mirrors are only copies! They could be forged, altered, or otherwise changed. Trusting a mirror is like trusting a friend's friend without actually knowing either friend to start with. Trust is better served with things that can't be proved easily (like the universe imploding upon itself tomorrow). And that is more along the lines of hope anyway. :-) Not to say that mirrors shouldn't be used, just something to think about.
