Why so shallow?
From cochrane.org:
quote:
The Cochrane Collaboration has robust, open, and methodologically mature processes aimed at ensuring that Cochrane Reviews provide the best available evidence of the effects of healthcare interventions. These include documented methodologies, training, internal and external peer review, an open feedback system, and a willingness to embrace continuous improvement.
I see from Cochrane | Trusted evidence. Informed decisions. Better health. that they do not share your contempt for peer review. They do, in fact, advocate reforms of peer review to make it more effective: unlike you, however, they don't just want to shoot it in the head in order to let a thousand fools bloom.
Did you read any further than the Guardian article?
It appears to me that you didn't, that you simply ran a search engine for critiques of peer review, found one, cried Eureka! and your work was done.
Is that your idea of how truth is found?

I can abide an entertaining looney, but Cedre can't even clear that low bar.
