I think it's a dangerous game to play, to pretend that peer review is
the be-all and end-all of things. Every so often, some nonsense sneaks
through the net - even in good journals - and if you equate peer review
with truth then it's a bit of an open goal...
Peer review is definitely flawed and IMO best viewed as, like democracy,
merely the least bad of the alternatives.
