Some of these problems vanish if you use an asynchronous textual format for debate. I’d really like to see decisionmaking processes that formalize the use of some sort of text forum, so I’ll propose some systems such a thing would use:
Flags indicating whether a claim has been refuted by deeper investigations, and who ran those investigations.
Comments from the general public, but subjectively filtered.
Methods for determining which authors are causing changes in peoples’ views, IE, which authors are doing the best work.
