Whenever someone points out that follows does not equal trust, reach for this article.
TL/dr: For any question of interest, WoT should use any and every piece of data that is available and relevant to the question at hand.
Should we use follows? Yes.
Should we use explicit, unambiguous "trust" events? Yes.
It's not either-or; it's both-and.

Anyone remember Jed McCaleb? I learned this week heβs working on artificial generalized intelligence and building a space station, among other things.
If you want to enable Alice to rate Bob along any arbitrary context, here is a powerful, extensible NIP you can use. It is also a demonstration of how to use the Curated Lists NIP as a building block.
Iβve added some custom NIPs to illustrate the power of Decentralized Lists, using DLists to keep track of contexts (which is essentially an ontology) and using those to manage a system for context-aware ratings. All using kind 9998 and 9999 events, nothing else.
