The Peer Review is feminine in nature. It's about consensus, not truth.

Peer reviewing is not supposed to be about determining good quality research.

The scientific method requires that experiments are repeatable. Peer review is the repeat experiment process.

Peer reviewing is not supposed to be about determining good quality research.
