Not only is it not 'faith' per se, but it's often wrong, to the chagrin of the wrench-holder. I can attest to enough snapped, stripped, or rounded bolts on that.

I take penicillin or other antibiotics that are proven to work, BECAUSE THEY ARE PROVEN TO WORK. Not because some self-professed expert in a white lab coat with nice thick respectable looking glasses said so.
