For persons who are sufficiently mistrustful, how could
a web of trust function at all? There are plenty of people
nowadays who don't even well trust their near relatives. For
a group of people that well trust one another, there is
in general also no problem of secure distribution of public
keys and having one person of the group to work as CA,
if necessary.
