I don't understand why you feel that the keybase question was directed at you. The decision to enter into this part of the discussion definitely hurt otherwise interesting post.

It's true that a signature is based around a component with longer lifespan than a hash. However the management and trust of that component damages this argument severely.

I am unaware of any web of trust in active use that could operate a npm scale existing today. Could you share one with me?

Because it was a direct reply to the individual. If used as an example you should give context, otherwise your comments are directed towards who you reply to.
