That's a lofty ideal, but the typical research report is flawed in multiple ways, and even in academia "Most Published Research Findings Are False" [0], and very few people's careers have in any way suffered, as there's very little de-facto accountability for this trust.

The best case scenario as I see it, is that we become more critical of research in general, and start training AI to help us identify these issues. And then we could perhaps utilize GAN to improve report generation.
