the case in point
The actual case in point though is one where the big issue is unrelated to the peer review process.
​
It looks like Trevio is more than likely referring to a paper that presents some methodology to replace FROG.
​
Okay.
​
That will get tested not in the world of reviews but in the labs. If the new process does turn out to be more efficient, cheaper, superior to FROG then it will likely prevail regardless of what is found in reviews and papers.

Re: the case in point
Exactly. Based on the article presented, this is something that will get decided in the lab, not the journals.
​
Does that FROG jump?

The system isn't perfect, but it is an adversarial by design system.
​
There will likely be some changes but over all, I'd say that it ain't broke.
