Right. It's been a long day. I'll refrain from elaborating or else
I'll say another blunder. :-)
Was the OP _not_ talking about "trust" in the only context that SA
uses it, then? If so, that's what prompted my comment.
I was responding to the subject.
I don't see how "does/does not forge headers" can be anything but

That's binary.
a discussion of levels of trust meaningless in that context.
"Probability of spamming" may be a useful metric to judge a host
(witness the effectiveness of DNSBLs), but when discussing SA we
should not use the term "trust" to refer to that concept.
Agreed.
