 Oh, I see after giving it more thought how a context field would be useful for adding another degree of separation into the "web"

I rate npub x at 90% for politics, they rate npub y at 90% for politics, npub y gets their opinions included without being in my list - doesn't work for different contexts without the "for politics" field

But that's still only 2 fields - why would we want 3? 🤔 I might have to read the thread more later today 
 After reading the thread a bit more, I can now see reasons for 3 fields: genre context (code vs politics), action context (edit vs delete), and trust score/ranking.

I still can't see the reason for the 3 fields to be context, score, and confidence. Still reading. 
 Have read about half the thread and it all further solidifies my opinion that the ideas being discussed in that thread are over-complicating something that can be much simpler.

If anyone wants to give a direct explanation of what I'm missing, I'm open to it.

Otherwise, it seems to me the best path to functionality right now would start with adding 1 field, then maybe a second and third could be added later. 
 I see those three fields as a goal although that doesn’t mean we have to graduate from what we have now to using all 3 instantaneously. Doing things in baby steps for the sake of simplicity is the strategy I’m following right now.
