[the discussion has moved on, so this is somewhat irrelevant now...]

Sure it could help: she's going to have to think long and hard about
whose public key she uses! Unlikely to pick the wrong one!

Now, the overall usability of it *will probably really suck* and will
push people to do end-runs around it, so in *that* sense in the long
run it won't help :-)
