"In the sense that you know you are talking to the owner of that cert it will always be safer."
Not necessarily. What if the cert was stolen...or made using a stolen identity? Sure, the cert says it was issued to X, but how can you be sure X is X, just as how can you be sure Bob is really Bob and not Eve, Mallory, or Gene who took on Bob's identity?
