I enjoy the spirit of this idea!

I simply fear that clout will ultimately drive it's growth, rather than the desire to correctly inform!

Maybe impart a "prick" score (for lack of a better term) that people can rate a comment based off of how accepting the author is at discussing their viewpoint rather than denigrating the person who has a "wrong" answer!

Best of luck!
