I hope there will be handy indexes once we've accumulated enough accurate beliefs, widely.

It doesn't help that our most accurate beliefs (e.g. the standard model of physics) are some of the most difficult to understand, or that beliefs with lots of evidence (e.g. evolution, the age of Earth) are not widely held.
