I wish you'd stop beating this strawman.  We are not talking about
Emacs trusting a file.  We are talking about letting the _user_ make
an informed decision what he considers ok to do with the file.  When
the user tells Emacs "open this JPEG file", and Emacs would not open
it as a JPEG file, it should tell the user that it is going to attempt
something different.
