You mean: TRUSTED vs. UNTRUSTED (or: KNOWN/UNKNOWN to belong to its owner).

Yes, AFAICS.

I think that these should be separated because both are different
things:  Owner trust reflects my personal opinion about other humans
and is _assigned_.  Key trust is a property of a thing (the key) and
is _calculated_ (from the owner trust values and other data).

What about a red/green traffic light to show the key trust?
While the thumb belongs to a human (a human says in how far he
trusts in another human), the traffic light is a machine (a machine
calculates in how far some electronic data may be trusted).
