I am against DT and I also have DT on my custom trust list.
Yes, you have become one of DT's biggest critics despite not having an understanding of why it exists, yet you still include it on your list.
That means you are a hypocrite & DT has value even to it's biggest critics. I don't think you're making the point you're trying to make.I think your understanding of why DT exists differs from the original intention. Care to tell us why you think DT was made in the first place? Do you have any idea why theymos made DT and now says he doesn't like at all how it works?
I am not saying that DT is worthless. I am saying that it should be gone now. Obviously a top-down structure (once again) proves to not function as intended. Also, there are a high amount of critics of DT in the forums and most of them do not care about Meta section.
I include DT, because it's such a strong anomaly that the whole trust system builds around it while that anomaly exists. This is why people who fully acknowledge the possibility to make a fully custom trust list, often do not do it.
I also trust almost everyone in the DT1, so it's convenient for me to add DefaultTrust instead of writing all those users there myself. I can exclude DT1 users I do not trust.
Now just figure out what means that DT is a strong anomaly in the trust system.
People should use custom lists and they should be encouraged and incentivized to do so.
Encourage them: drop a link to Trust settings once in a while 
That's not how a systematic problem gets fixed.

How can I see someone's trust list without including them to my trust list?
