Yes, I see what you are saying. What about this rephrasing:
But since there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim of A, the required effort is significantly large and the methods appear strange to those not understanding the state, how can B rationally decide to expend the effort?
I wonder if trust is the only strategy there and, if so, what are some good strategies for choosing who to trust. I will have to ponder this further but is there some material on LW on trust. I am curious to see the perspective of the community on this.

I wrote http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/oe0/predictionbased_medicine_pbm/ to suggest a change on a broader level.
When it comes to the personal level I’m however at the moment not aware of a good LW post that speaks explicitly about trust.
