I know you meant that tongue-in-cheek, but in some cases it's frighteningly close to the truth. I have reviewed for IDTrust in the past, one year there was a particularly nice paper that solved a number of problems with X.509 and the comments from other reviewers were along the lines of "I don't understand this, this isn't how the sacred scriptures say it should be done, I don't understand it, it's not how you're supposed to do it". The paper really was rejected for lack of doctrinal conformity. (Note: I won't give any more details than that since the reviews were in confidence, just pointing out that "review for doctrinal conformity" really has occurred in the past).
