If peer review has been corrupted into pal review, we shouldn't uncritically accept it. Charles Monnett's study widely cited study in support of the idea polar bears are endangered was 'peer reviewed' by two scientists. One was his wife. The other was a scientist he awarded a large grant to. That kind of self-dealing is unacceptable. We also know the Climategate leaked emails showed climate scientists conspiring to corrupt the review process to stifle skeptical studies. Furthermore, peer review, even when not corrupted, only means that a study is worthy of publication ... it's not a seal that guarantees the study's conclusions are valid or meaningful.
