The main argument is not that peer review is “bad,” but that every quality-control system has trade-offs worth reflecting on.

Examples exist across very different fields:
• Alfred Wegener’s continental drift theory was dismissed for decades before plate tectonics became accepted.
• Early work connected to dark energy initially faced skepticism despite later reshaping cosmology.

Science progresses through criticism, but also depends on the ability to recognize disruptive ideas.
I recently wrote a paper examining peer-review bias, scientific gatekeeping, and the structural pressures that can sometimes create innovation blocks in science.
