all terribly nice now how do you prevent Certificate Authorities screwing up

if anyone tells me there is a certificate transparency log I'll laugh...

basically you need a way to establish trust and frankly that requires a root or offline signing party and expensive safes (you know what they do for DNS party)

this has been rehashed (boom boom) so many times
