I think there's a terminology issue. We cannot refer to this as a "trust" system, however "Wikitrust" brands it. We just can't. It misleads too many, and implies too much.
Call it a "text tracing system" or "a gadget to highlight text origins" instead. It's a lot less glamorous, sounds alot less dramatic, doesn't get the dollars - but it's got zero capability of misleading.
