An unintended consequence of the peer-review system is that it can keep science permanently locked into the presently accepted paradigm. ... Even more dangerous than the suppression of new ideas that are not supportive of accepted theory is the reflexive acceptance for publication of pseudoscientific results that concur with accepted theory.

Most people refer to peer review as an unreviewable affirmation.
@yvilletom Nothing is unreviewable as social media proves. Just be grateful that trusted, professional and able people DO review scientific findings, plus a means of response AND a way of getting a better theory all of which depends upon trust. What will get yours for science?
@Mcflewster Please tell me the meaning of “What will get yours for science.”
What will get my what?
@yvilletom TRUST (please)
