Nope.  You need signatures to bind the encryption key to the primary
key.  If you can break the signature you can replace the public key.

The only solution to prevent this is by comparing the fingerpint of
the encryption key too ( --fingerprint --fingerprint) - but you can
only do this if have compared them directly without any introducer -
otherwise you would have used signatures too.

Signatures are very important.
