No, they aren't. While I have no problem with peer-review for those who want to participate in it, the idea that no process or paper is valid without peer review is just bullshit and an excuse for liberals who aren't able to adequately respond to them.


Bullshit. Like I said, the process does weed out cranks. And that must piss you off...

I find it fascinating how you can disregard studies just based on whether or not they fit your partisan viewpoint. Like with climate change.

If you're suggesting that only liberals use peer-review you're an idiot.... Peer reviewers are selected for their expertise in the field that includes the subject being written about.... Politics is not a consideration when asking someone to be a peer-reviewer.... It is not the same as proof-reading or editing. And gut feelings have no place in the process....
