Wanted: Scientific Errors.

Cash Reward.

"Scientific-misconduct accusations are leading to retractions [...] But there’s no telling how widespread errors are in research: As it is, they’re largely brought to light by unpaid volunteers.

1st thought: Cool!

The of fact checking might be a nice check and balance.

Might even bring a renewed focus on a methodological rigor and basic research.

2nd thought:

‘Checks and balances’ aren’t really working out so well for democracy.
