Hmmm. If I discuss things that really need to be kept secret I only do
that with people I already know and whose keys I trust. And trusting
people for discussing one subject does not automatically mean I trust
them for discussing other subjects too. This means I just don't care for
the "web of trust". Before I discuss some things with people, I just
need to trust them personally, not "trust" them because other people do.
