Peer review is used as a way of determining whether the methodologies or underlying logic used in a study are flawed (in a provable way), and what the severity of the flaw(s) is&#x2F;are.<p>&gt;<i>&quot;Peer review isn&#x27;t... designed to figure out if the results of the study are correct or incorrect.&quot;</i><p>There is no way of verifying the correctness of most studies and papers; they are simply examined for flaws. I do not see any reason why papers by &#x27;good&#x27; authors should be examined less critically than those by &#x27;shills&#x27;.
