IMO, it would be better to have information validated by those with the credentials to do so, rather than letting anybody have their say.

In theory, This should be the proper way of validating information same on thesis validation but since the aim of the project is a complete decentralized validation, There aim to work like a DAO which gives power to all the token holders to validate. This will work if there's an exception such as a special group of panel which describes as your suggestion of professional that will do a final validation to all the result produced by the public input on the said data validation.

Indeed, an anonymous jury system could be used and over time the best jurors for certain kinds of questions would be obvious... the best jurors being the ones who most often predicted the ultimately correct DAO outcome. (This is essentially selecting for experts without the need for credentialism).

The "special panel" would simply be a subset of the jury pool who have an automatically assigned heavier weight given their past performance on a given topic. But beginners and noobies can vote also (like being an alternate juror on a weighted curve) as a "training vote" to see how well they do. There are many parts of an argument and if it can be broken down into small enough pieces, almost anyone would be able to add value sometimes.

Also, if I proposed a claim as knowledge... and staked a bounty against myself that the DAO would ultimately prove me correct... members (at a small cost) could wager to agree or disagree and win/lose if I am correct. In this way, they have something at stake and even if they are constantly wrong, they are paying for the incentives to make the entire network more and more correct over time.

Over time, you end with a pool of DAO validated claims (knowledge) with the ability to challenge accepted ideas when new evidence is proposed. Granted, any member would need to have the tools to self-verify any part of any claim quickly and transparently.

But doesn't that outcome seems quite valuable if achieved? Highly validated claims with evidence, context, logic and reasoning all validated and self-verifiable. The scientific method applied to all of human knowledge. It seems possible.
