There are many on this board, even some claiming scientific credentials, that seem to equate faceless blogs with peer reviewed articles. While I can understand that being the case for some of the less than stellar IQs on this board, I can only surmise the reason for those that seem to have a modicum of intelligence.

Peer review vs commercials and spam

Why is that? And what exactly is peer review?

The concept of peer review is about 300 years old and is the cornerstone of modern science. The best analogy for peer review is that it acts as a spam filter: rubbish ideas are kept from being published so that other scientists don’t waste their time reading spam. Only ideas that are not obviously rubbish make it into the literature, and once in the literature, the scientific marketplace of ideas determines their ultimate fate.

Let’s examine how different this process is from just posting one’s ideas on some web page.
 
Let's us also examine how Peer Review and Consensus is not how real science is performed

The ultimate irony is OR just posted one’s ideas on some web page to back up his position that posting ideas on a web page is not real science.

The peer review process has also been bastardized to support AGW. You may as well be pointing to Cinderella as proof of the existence of fairy godmothers.

It's easy to win if you stack the deck...but it's cheating.

I reviewed it myself, and I concur.

Old Rocks, we have reached consensus. The science is settled.

Upon further review of your review, I endorse it wholeheartedly. Furthermore, careful review of the available data in the shape of a lacrosse stick shows that Old Rocks does not exist.
 
The way Peer review is supposed to work is that the work is put out there with the basic data so that independent reviewers can examine the work and check to make sure the Ts are dotted and the eyes are crossed. It is supposed to instill rigor in the system by making checks on the underlying data.

Peer review in this case was less honest than the "peer review" of a proof of homeopathy by a homeopath or by having psychics prove each others honesty.

The base data never was available, was never reviewed, and the peers reviewing the data were folks submitting papers depending on the worst offenders for payment. Peer review was not an independent tets, it was a monster circle jerk.

I've peer reviewed these posts, and CrusaderFrank Johnson is right about daveman Johnson being right about CrusaderFrank Johnson being right.
 
The ones who insisted the world was flat were those who controlled all the "secret knowledge" that the unwashed masses just couldn't comprehend, which is much more descriptive of the warmist cult than anyone else.

But thanks for playing...Johnny Olson has a case of Bardahl for you, as a parting gift.

If that ain't a consensus, by Gaea, I don't know what is.

I'd tell Old Rocks, but it turns out he doesn't exist.

You won't turn anyone to your way of thinking by treating them like shit under your shoes.

I think he knows that. It would explain the petulance.
