I think it can Help us understand how to behave facing our LENR stories.

It is important to understand that without a dose of trust, nothing is possible in business.
I think it is the same for science. Infinite skepticism, questioning all claims, considering all possibilities, is "impractical".
However sometime we trust too much, which is temporary "practical" but it assume that we accept to change our "trust list" facing data.

How does society function when you can't trust everyone?When we think about trust, we naturally think about personal relationships or bank vaults. That's too narrow. Trust is much broader, and much more important. Nothing in society works without trust. It's the foundation of communities, commerce, democracy—everything.In this insightful and entertaining book, Schneier weaves together ideas from across the social and biological sciences to explain how society induces trust. He shows how trust works and fails in social settings, communities, organizations, countries, and the world.In today's hyper-connected society, understanding the mechanisms of trust is as important as understanding electricity was a century ago. Issues of trust and security are critical to solving problems as diverse as corporate responsibility, global warming, and our moribund political system. After reading Liars and Outliers, you'll think about social problems, large and small, differently.

If someone who read "Liars and Outliers" can make already a review?

More off-topic, Beyond Fear was a great book on rational terrorism management.
