You can read more about IE Security Settings at


http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/security/settings.asp

from which we can also read about the Trusted Zone that you should:

"Add a site to this zone only if you trust that it would never 
cause
harm to your computer."

Giving any site additional executional privileges means that you 
are
extending your level of trust. You are trusting that the site in
question does not get compromised and have its content replaced 
with
malicious code, and you are trusting that the site does not have 
any XSS
errors that would allow harmful code injection into the HTML 
stream.

It doesn't actually say that. From the link you provided it says is:

"For example, you might put well-known entertainment or shopping 
sites in the Trusted sites zone with its low levels of security."

You're saying what we are saying and illustrating, not what they are 
saying.

That's the whole point.

See what I am saying.
