Glen,

 

Don't the bulk of non-zero sum gains arise from trust?

 

see MOTH, for instance.

That scratch in my surface jumps me back, yet again, to the postmodern point:

 

Beware of the online war of propaganda

http://news.usc.edu/82853/beware-of-the-war-of-propaganda-taking-place-online/

 

> “People normally trust online content,” said Farshad Kooti, one of the Ph.D. candidates at USC Viterbi who worked with Galstyan. “Unfortunately, this introduces an opportunity to spread misinformation by using automated bots that are very hard to detect.”

 

Misinformation and disinformation are NOT the threat.  Trust is the threat.
