I think you're unfair to the heuristics people use in your framing here.
You said "hence the point its author is trying to make must be true" and "hence it must be modeling the world with high fidelity".
But it's more like "hence the author is likely competent and likely put in a reasonable effort."
When those assumptions hold, putting in a very deep review is less likely to pay off. Maybe you are right that people have been too complacent to begin with, I don't know, but I don't think you've framed it fairly.
