Once more we see the term that confuses nearly everyone:

You personally decide to trust a key – for it's certifications. That is 
not in any way related to the intermediate certifications for this key.

The WoT makes a key *valid*. What is needed for that is your personal 
decision, too, but on another level: That is configured in GnuPG (with 
--completes-needed and --marginals-needed). Unless you decide not to use 
the WoT and make your own signature based on the ones you see.
