What do you mean “learn to verify?” Be pragmatic in your answer.
This is the same unsolved problem with web of trust. How would a pleb be able to verify ANY given npub/person?

Learn to critical think too.
So how would someone verify any given npub using critical thinking?
What I’m getting at is that it’s largely an unsolved problem
Imagine that Donald Trump was on nostr and there were also 50+ impersonators.
Which relay(s) would he be on?
If you stumbled on this actual account, how would you verify?
He would have to go on live TV and speak his npub or something similarly drastic for any of us to have enough confidence. Or he would need to blast it on all his socials.
But even then, you’d have to ensure you went to those definitive sources in order to verify and not from some random news blog site that may try and trick you.
It’s a hard problem.
