Over-reliance on Chainlist is a big mistake

This over reliance on Chainlist is going to come back to bite us big time. Nobody is verifying, just blindly using it to add RPCs. Even seasoned pros. This is a very dangerous and stupid practice. Wallet devs are missing a massive, basic security issue and going down a rabbit hole chasing ever more complex tasks. Man with a hammer syndrome!

There should be automatic verification in wallets like MetaMask that should consult say 3 extra sources.
