You could say, if when evaluating signed content you find any 
of these failing, it's a clue to be even more prudent.  That 
is, a strategy of teaching the prudence skill, and then adding:
what are activators to be alert for?  Ie, in this environment,
crypto signatures give some activators, and are definitely
better than nothing.  Like in the animal kingdom, rustling
sounds from the grass over there is an activator for the deer
to be more prudent.   :-)
