Greetings,

Since I am someone who is not fully versed in the business of digital
certificates, could you explain to me this apparent logical fallacy
(quoting from the Thawte promotional blurb you posted):

>One in three Web merchants say that the risk of fraud is their
>biggest problem with online systems, according to a recent study
>by Gartner.  [...] When the
>Thawte certificate or site seal is seen on a merchant's site,
>customers can feel confident about doing business or transacting
>with these merchants via the Internet.

The paragraph begins by saying that the merchants fear the risk of fraud,
then goes on to conclude that customers can feel safe when purchasing
from a Thawte-endorsed merchant.

What does that have to do with mitigating the merchant's risk of fraud?
