Really depends on context and I don’t recall a concrete example of the community going awry here. You’re proposing this as a change to EA, but I’m not sure it isn’t already true.
If you compare apples to apples, a paper and a blog answering the same question, and the blog does not cite the paper, then sure the paper is better. But usually there are good contextual reasons for referring to blogs.
Also, peer review is pretty crappy, the main thing is having an academic sit down and write very carefully.
