Exactly. Don't you just love the English language with all of its ambiguities?
 We smell, which can imply that we are receptors of quantum bad smelling
particles called fartons, or we can be emitters of said particles. Context
counts. In the wild and wooly world of PGP, Trust is not about whether I trust
you with my money. Trust is only about whether I trust that your key actually
belongs to you. If you're not in the vicinity of Framingham MA then it's not
likely that we will be able to show each other two pieces of government issued
picture ID, but if you know someone who is in the area and have mutually
signed each others' keys then he and I could sign keys and then you could
update your copy of my public key and see that I trust him and you trust him
so you can trust me.
