You don't need to be 100%. We assume innocent until proven guilty in other contexts. At least some criminals are known to go free because we cannot prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they really did it. However we get a lot of them. It isn't perfect, but it is a standard.

Despite innocent until proven guilty, there are innocent people in prison or on death row. I doubt that is a standard that any scientist would agree to.

Like I said, not perfect. It is overall the best I have heard of. I'm open to something better if possible.

No liability.

Wait, you're saying, based on your prior comment[0], that scientists who commit willful fraud shouldn't be held liable?

Scientists who publish research in a journal, and then it turns out that this research is wrong, for whatever reason, should not be held liable for the consequences of this.

That is what I am saying.
