Yes. Understood. I should have mentioned that. However, as you mentioned
in a previous subthread, it isn't difficult to parse the dates of the
signatures, identify where they've been held, and grab other metadata.
If a key has falsified signatures, it should be easy enough to find out.
At least the recursion of grabbing keys from keyservers will be rather
short for false sigs.

At any event, I digress.
