Honesty?

I like this idea. Do you have any thoughts about how to enforce/encourage honesty? I can imagine that the "busy" inventors would simply say "yep, seems good to me" since they are too busy to carefully examine it, and they figure that one of the other examiners will spend the time to figure out if it is valid or not. Thus, this would lower the "cost" of applying for patents for the "dishonest" individuals.
