Right, that is my point. I feel like there is a fundamental lack of understanding in the vast majority of the population about trust. We haven't helped by telling people "you can trust the little green padlock". Nobody asks "why should I trust it?". That is the problem. It really doesn't matter what technology we provide, so far none of it is really used by regular people to establish trust.

The other option, of course, is to design a trustless system, like BitCoin, but that has its own problems.
