That's literally what the library of Alexandria was all about.

They told all of the nerds that the best nerd paper would get into their nerd building, and a nerds traveled there from around the world and dedicated their lives to correcting and one upping the other nerds.

I love the fallibility of humans and our consistency, it makes me much more comfortable to live in a world that seems in comprehensible, because I know underneath all of it are like three dumb existential complacencies that any a human part of the species can't deny.
