That's a fantastic way to fall victim to grift. Your "panel of experts" can easily be as biased as anyone else. When you give people vast authority on the basis of their expertise (even assuming the expertise is genuine), anything that challenges it becomes not a novel idea worth exploring, but a direct challenge to their authority. Planck's principle- that science advances one funeral at a time- is rather apropos here.
