I'm thinking about something different: a site, where everyone can publish a fact or a statement, arguments that supports or contradicts the fact, and a process with goal to make fact proven or falsified. (Sorry for my English).
Fact: Earth is flat.
Pros: Earth is flat, it's obvious. [direct evidence]
Cons: Fact: [Picture of the Earth from the space] shows that Earth is round.
Fact: Picture of the Earth from the space
And so on.
