Yep, completely agree with that. My point is that there are different onboarding scenarios, and non-wot approaches need to be part of a comprehensive onboarding strategy. In a bootstrapping scenario, 1-hop wot and grapevine are equally useless. This isn't to say that there aren't appropriate scenarios for either solution.
