No offense, but your solution reads like a typical idea that Sillicon Valley startup could come up with, i.e., throwing technology at a wrong problem, ignoring human factor and applying monetization where it doesn't belong. It reminds me of this founder who wanted to replace hiring processes with people putting money on the person staying in the firm long enough.

Not all science is based on experiments. Furthermore, science is not usually done in two simple steps: creating a theory and validating it. In practice, it's a cycle of refirenement that often requires dozens of iterations and involves discovering new phenomena.

In your model, who decides if the 3rd party has invalidated the claim or simply conducted the experiment incorrectly? Everyone involved has a financial motivation, so there's no independent side to resolve this issue.
