When lefties cite a "published paper", laugh

Looking up the names 'peer reviewers' of pseudo-science 'studies' can be interesting. In many cases it's a lot of activists reviewing each other's 'studies' and rubber stamping them.

Indeed. I suspect many of the reviewers have not exercised due diligence.

Actually, many peer reviews are simply rubber stamping the paper, book, or whatever. That is, they never actually bother to read or critique it. They assume that the person--particularly if they have a solid CV or are well known--has done solid research and work.

Some studies were showing some 35% of 'science' PhD theses were using fake data; don't know if colleges have cracked down on that or not, but I doubt they have.
