@verita84 I often wonder how this made it onto a compromised platform like BBC.

“Peer review” isn’t what laymen imagine; it’s mostly just someone looking over a paper and saying looks good to me. It’s a joke.

Peer review is an obvious prisoner's dilemma. If you actually criticize other scientists' work, they will actually criticize yours. No careerist wants that, so they all silently agree to be corrupt together.

Just going to ignore the fact that that is the very reason a large number of journals obscure the identity of the peer reviewers?
