It's hard to draw these lines, because you will certainly filter out a lot of bad (i.e. useless, low contribution to any field) papers, but you might also filter out some really important papers. Research being basic or something anyone could've done doesn't count againt its potential importance, just the expected value of importance I guess. I'd rather we had a few too many bad papers than a few too few great papers.
