There's a large number of authors posting since this came out who'd beg to differ with you on the 'objectively measurable' factor - lots of reports of past customer complaints that have been forward for action to the author where the customer/reader was just wrong: reporting British English spellings, informal conversation within dialogue tags, words invented for a fantasy/sci-fi story, etc., etc.
Ultimately it will just come down to how well Amazon implements the 'verification' factor. For me, a red badge of shame on a retailer's product page is just silly.
