I don't quite understand. If I know someone, I can talk with them about how they
verify ownership before they sign. Then I can judge whether I agree and assign
ownertrust accordingly.

If I don't know them, I wouldn't assign ownertrust even if their policy came
with sparkles, glitter and a free magazine subscription.
