This was how it was done in chemistry back in the day: release a cooking instruction. If it fails, visit the colleagues and give hints on what you meant.

The idea would be that you should not fiddle with the minds who try to independently evaluate your works, so that is not a feasible approach to truth seeking.

While in organic chemistry, this way, valid progress was made, you can always avoid a perpetuum mobile inventor and get conned.
