My observations of the content of knowledge reports during my time with the scientology criminal enterprise has shown that most of those contained hearsay, falsehoods, and/or omitted context. The noise in knowledge reports exceeded the signal substantially. Also, those reports were weighted for credibility based on the position of the originator in the scientology hierarchy. For example, a report by a staff member carries more credence against a common public than a report on another staff member of similar rank.
Hubbard's policy letter created a super-sized can of worms which feeds the incipient paranoia of organized scientology. I cannot think of a more effective and efficient means to create busy work, glut the internal communication channels, and target vulnerable people for hatchet jobs. In that respect, Hubbard demonstrated real "genius".

I agree, KRs were really misapplied and many embellished these reports to the detriment of both staff & public.

I think the knowledge report system is destructive. Making it policy to rat other people out creates the opportunity for embellishment and false statements.
