I'm not making the claim it's a universal standard, but there are likely indications that some researchers are a different pedigree from others. A researcher reporting the same kind of low grade vulnerability probably shouldn't carry the same reputation score as other researchers.

I don't think there is a perfect way to do this, and I don't think there is an absolute standard that can be applied. It will be unfair to some people, but the system should have options for resolution when there are egregious mistakes. I'm not making the claim either, that the views of the data you are interested in are the ones I might be interested in. A good system would provide some different levels which itself is an incentive towards better research that would break through.
