The purpose of such a system should be to give leads for further research. If you treat them as leads and only leads, then bad leads don't matter much.
Unless, the leads are so bad on average that too much effort is spent on vetting them that could be put to better use elsewhere.

If the leads are worse than a random toss of a coin, then you can come up with leads on your own. Not all leads are good. Inviting the village idiot in a brainstorming session wont be of much value -- and Watson is more like the village idiot, than a valid lead generation engine.
