I'm pretty sure that if I posted a fork of Linux somewhere, approximately everyone would know that it's not the correct one.

This is being downvoted, but it hits the point on the head. The differentiating feature of blockchains is removing the reliance on social capital from a technical system. While interesting from a theoretical PoV, it's mostly an answer begging for a question when you consider that social capital is still the driving force in each level of the stack except the technical level.
