“Peer review is not a measure of scientific truth; it is basically a measure of approval by an editor. It is not meaningless, because presumably the editor has some expertise in the subject. But it is in no way a confirmation of truth.” -Jay Bhattacharya
[We tend to believe peer review is some measure of quality when it could be a measure of popularity or any number of other reasons for a particular author to be (or not be) published.]
