Daringfireball holds people accountable all the time, in particular for wrong prognostications. It's semi hilarious, in that it's relieving.

- jacquesm 7y agoAnd what consquences does that have? As in, did anybody lose their job, go to jail or faced some other stiff penalty? If not then it doesn't count. In NL a minister resigned because he got caught in a lie. Imagine that. It wasn't even a big one, it is just that that is unacceptable here. I'm sure they lie all the time, it is just that getting caught is enough to do you in. So not a perfect system by a long shot but it does the job.
