Yes, like that

That looks like exactly the thing (despite the fact that I couldn't read a word of it). Arranging the answers for easy reference is a great idea, and turns a one-shot question into a permanent part of an ever-growing body of work.

The idea of the Zone answering questions has another variation that might ease the long-standing fight over psuedoscience and other controversial topics. What if we formally debated some question, such as the role of lightning in crater formation, limited to one thread, and came up with a verdict to which we could refer any time in the future when the topic comes up? The biggest complaint against anomalism is its persistence and repetition, and this way we'd only have to address a question once.
