1) Amen.

2) Trust is an act that originates in the self; it is about ontology.  Trusting
someone doesn't exist.  You make a judgement about a person (or node) based on
available knowledge, then trust your judgement.  A judgement in this context is
a prediction.  EG, "I believe it is X% likely that this person will take this
action."

I have dropped the 'trust' concept completely, since I believe it is at best
useless and at worst misleading.  That has helped me much in forming expressions
more easily.

Rather than "I trust Alice to do foo because Bob trusts Alice," --> "I believe
it is X% likely that Alice will take this action because Bob believes it is Y%
likely and Bob's prediction is Z% likely to be correct."
