That's fair! I agree with you, I don't think these proxies for trust are great. The gold nuggets will be in application-specific kinds like the bitcoinmints example (kind 38000 is 100% an explicit trust attestation). I just don't see at the moment who will want to put enough energy to build hierarchies, but if people do, all the better! 

 Perhaps I’m the only one who will want to put in the energy to build hierarchies 😜😂

That’s ok by me. One person is all it will take!
