Broadly, yes. You'd need to trust the entire chain of ARC-signing forwarders of 
course.

Okay. If I implement ARC as a receiver, then I ignore p=reject from Senders I 
trust not to lie to me if it passes ARC?

ARC provides a standardised, software-implementable, means for trustworthy 
forwarders to implement chain-of-custody records and therefore for receivers to 
reliably and simply automate assessments about messages received through 
trustworthy paths that are currently both generally too complicated to make 
other than by hand and - for longer forwarding chains than 
author->list->recipient - depend upon trusting untrustworthy data from several 
hops upstream.

The decisions about who to trust remain more-or-less those which receivers 
already make, ARC extends the distance that that trust can be algorithmically 
extended. An untrusted bad guy gains nothing, except against a naive receiver 
who imagines that ARC is magic. See also naive receivers assuming that SPF 
passing meant that a message was not spam. Likewise DKIM passing. Likewise 
DMARC passing. The important change here is that, in addition to incorporating 
an assessment of the trustworthines!
 s of the
author and/or the last hop, assessments of the trustworthiness of forwarders 
enter the picture.

How does that actually help? At least as I read the draft, anyone can make up a 
'bad' message and an associated made up DKIM signature and then add their ARC 
stamp claiming the signature was valid when the message arrived?
