It’s extremely common for all judicial systems to rely on outcome assessments instead of process assessments! In many domains this is obviously the right standard! It is very common to create environments where someone can sue for damages and not just have the judgement be dependent on negligence (and both thresholds are indeed commonly relevant for almost any civil case).
Like sure, it comes with various issues, but it seems obviously wrong to me to request that no part of the LessWrong moderation process relies on outcome assessments.
