Rather, we need to protect users from the necessity to
make such hard decisions - and when a user *does* need
to make a hard decision, it should be "Do you trust so
and so?", not "do you trust some incomprehensible
something that you would never understand if we
explained it a hundred times over, so we won't even
bother explaining it."
