I don't believe any money is transferred until the deadline is reached and the threshold is met. That is just a guess based on what their site says regarding their lack of profit on unmet goals. Technologically I don't know exactly how they prevent a "false promise" as you call it but I can think of a couple ways.
Personally I would recommend people skills type material such as
Influenc, by CIaldini
Art of Seduction, by Greene
Win Friends and Influence People, by Carnegie
Art of War, by Tsu
maybe something on negotiating
You don't always have to go at something in the direct logical way and get the best results.
Have you ever heard of "grades" or an "interview"?
This is the exact reasoning that keeps people from trying out new ideas too. Why take a risk on some innovative idea when I can build some product that has already "proved" itself. So called "experience" is the main thing that stiffles innovation. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Yes, its called "How to get people to answer your questions seriously" by the man. Seriously though, I have heard people reference this source they call "the internet".
