Yes, but my point is that if those are the only 30 displayed they will be the ones getting funneled all of the new user trust (increasing their trust rating) and it will be an endless cycle of more people trusting them producing a huge rift, and basically just reproducing the default trust list in a slightly modified form.
That's why I suggest to show not the 30 best, but 30 among the X best.
That's maybe why it isn't good for newbies to choose this. You can and should add people you trust to your trust list.
That requires thinking, something a lot of people find so hard that they won't do it.
