I think there needs to be another type of review, one that reviews the posts chosen for audits. Seems like this type of situation happens often enough where people trying to review are getting failures on faulty logic. My experience was this https://superuser.com/review/first-posts/336393 I had tried to post a comment on the answer to ask the user to include references from the manufacture and other supporting documentation to improve the quality of the post but I should have left it alone because it was "high quality"

We already understand that we suffer from Too many upvotes for poor quality answers as well as other issues far too often. To leave the audits as purely random seems to invite more false indicators and could discourage users from participating in the community (I for one will be leaving the review queue alone for awhile). Seems like a simple, helpful change to add an audit review feature.

As to implementation, I would say it should happen much like the audits currently do. Randomly while someone is in whatever queue they would get a page saying "Help us improve our audit process! Does this post fit the criteria to be a good test for X?" Where "X" would state the desired outcome of the audit. Let the user say yea or nay and of course never give them what they vote on as their own audit.
