here I meant in the sense that D will direct requests with the same chances to E than to the other

longer existing nodes.

But since trust is not used for routing this is irrelevant. 

Basically a node uses trust only to decide if it "opens the letter", in the case it is to busy to open all.

For how it acts upon an opened letter trust doesn't play a role anymore. 

Is that correct?
