What's the Alternative Then?
Just out of curiosity randman, what would you like to see in place of the current peer-review system? We can surely agree that there needs to be some process for weeding out the crackpot articles and the many flawed studies. You say that giants are being reviewed by pygmies, but it is clearly true that there are always going to be more scientists of average ability than geniuses. What's your solution?
