 It will skew to have weight in the edges of the things you might consult.

Also, web-of-trust networks have far larger reach than is immediately apparent a due to exponentials

 Are editors expected to maintain their entries on a topic? Will they become able to merge a fork and not care about it anymore eventually?

 Yeah, an editor willl be able to propose having their entry merged into someone else’s and “defer” their entry to the other version.

 it would be cool to surface areas where diverging webs of trust overlap between teo npubs. I.e. I could search for where @saif and paul krugmans world views are similar

 Yes, this is something I’m deeply interested in and will be exploring with some DVMs; I want to leverage “opposite” web of trusts where you can find people with whom you would disagree in things so you can discover points of view you agree with and disagree with.

Kinda like Reddit’s “controversial” on steroids.
