The idea is to incrementally increase the level of trust that a person is human, not verify with certainty. By having two users sign a note it's a mutual endorsement, and if someone is endorsing bot accounts they will end up destroying their own credibility when their signature shows on the bot's profile. Anyone can create accounts and sign these notes, but in a WoT model it doesn't mean anything if they don't have a following, so someone that has spent a lot of time building a following on nostr is not going to risk their credibility by verifying bots.
