Well if scrutiny didn't do any good then why do we have peer review in science? This is a sort of peer review (but hopefully more effective than the standard scientific peer review) on a massive scale.
It's just obvious that rational criticism generally does improve argumentative standards.
a) scientists are slightly better than average in caring for accuracy
b) there is a contradictory evidence whether peer-reviews improve publication quality
Eh... "obvious" is not a good criterion for either impartiality or accuracy.
