Certificates are similar to passports – if you look at a person’s 
passport you must decide if you trust the issuer. If it’s a known 
country and the passport is valid (and looks legit as far as you can 
guess), you will trust it. If it’s from a country you never heard of, 
you might doubt its validity. If it’s from a separatist organization you 
find trustworthy, you might trust it anyway (similar to the CAcert case).
