I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Do you think that many LWers could maintain a high enough level of honesty for this to work? I think that we could, though some people are more competitive and less truth-seeking in these types of scenarios, so I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.
As long as there is nothing incentivizing people to be anything other than completely honest (like there is in an organized debate) then I'm much less concerned (but not entirely unconcerned). And I agree that not everyone is capable of being entirely honest.
If we can't be entirly honest, then what are we doing here?
We don't always know our true rejections; sometimes we even invent rejections during the debate. This is a bias that should be reduced as much as possible, but it can't always be eliminated.
