Is made to be an intractable problem. As the barriers to entry get thinner as time goes by, the trust becomes more centralized in the adjacent possible. Is interesting that when asked most scientists know of no better alternative to peer review to find the value of a work for publication. Even in mathematics where glory and funding are less important, this happens regularly.
As the focus is on the judging the merit of the work (which is not objective), instead of in ways to acquire and lose reputation anonymously in a Turing test resistant fashion.
