A reasonable baseline, but it is also a pretty low bar. It basically excludes intentionally fraudulent communications but not much else.

A much more difficult problem is to discern who's beliefs are closest to the ground truth. One approach to this is to notice who is able to most accurately predict future events or actions. I would argue that being able to make successful predictions is highly correlated with perception of ground truths.
