This is the fundamental concept of filtering out bad research by peer review. Work is reviewed by people who know the field well enough to understand a paper.

Ideally we have this by code review, which should, theoretically, filter out the bullshit, but software development, as the original post in this thread says, may be overwhelmingly populated by bullshitters or people who honestly don't know their own lack of ability.

This is exaggerated by agism and completely discounting audited real experience over leetcode and small take home projects.
