Not at all the same. The difference is I just explained in detail why this is the case, in addition to oh what, 5 years of history of this to reference since the trust system was implemented? You are pointing to a hypothetical. I am referencing current reality.
You're just giving an opinion like everybody else. Your interpretation of how trust should be used is pretty narrow, but obviously its just an opinion because people use it for much more, and will continue to use it as they see fit (and how is allowed by the forum) regardless of your opinion.
Again, you keep pressing the word opinion as if you can keep on this talking point, people will forget that I just in detail using logic explained why this is more than my opinion. Yes this is the status quo. So what? My argument is it should not be.
