Degrees of separation graphs and score graphs are two different things
This isn't true because you can "create" a database with your point of view or use a global one, or at least a more structured one.
Degrees of separation is always local and approximates an aspect of real-world trust directly. Score graphs are a much much rougher approximation that I think cannot reproduce the underlying signal. You almost need a global view to do it which means we are back to trusting an authority.
yes this is basically nip-85 you are trusting a provider to get data
