To be fair, that's an issue because you're choosing between two different blockchains, each of which does the trust thing automatically.
And that sort of problem is what I meant by saying that it's mathematically neat, but not necessarily practical - being able to form a consensus without trust is cool, but there are other dimensions involved beyond simply forming a consensus, such as which blockchain to trust.
