To paraphrase Monty Python
“supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony" (or authority based on a self declaration)
In the age of ai, where you can flood the zone with easily generated content, even a democratic society might struggle to maintain an stable sense of shared reality and history

At the moment - it's model's judgement upon search results for every claim from provided content. If search results returned inaccurate data, or were fabricated - it might affect a verdict for that claim, or highlight that it's unverifiable or contradictory.
But there is a room for improvement, what do you suggest? Have a Judge agent which will check results?
