I know you're not trolling, I'm not either. I don't think LN is going to be a success; I too don't rely on trust--trustless was the magic of Bitcoin.

Regarding your first question: the auto-close n-locktime TX is what sets the channel-duration... Or at least as I understand it. The subsequent broadcasts aren't done on-chain--broadcasting on-chain closes the channel.
