Linux Server Security (2nd) Edition by Michael D Bauer - Chapter 1

[Daemorog]

Reading linux server security (2nd edition) by Michael D. Bauer
on page 3 there is a mention of "In any give case, liability
issues may or rot be significant" that is probably a reference
to the asset of "nonliability" regarding to legal consequences

But i could also be a reference to the drop in reputation
as a firm and the bad publicity that comes from a security
incident

Also on page 15 the author mentions "Any ALE's significance,
therefore, depends much less on empirical data than it does
on the experience and knowledge of whoever is calculating it"

Imho that is a a little bit of a contradiction since empirical
data is based on experience and experiments

For convenience i added the pages in attachment

What do you guys think?
