Great comment.
On the other side there are editors who only are doing it for their dossier and cv.
I am not sure the process is so weak as opposed to the people being corrupt and incompetent.

Thank you for the comment. The process and the people seem to fit together to produce some bad knowledge, it appears. As hard as it might be for some people to grasp, there are quite a few incompetent and corrupt people in the research and publishing system, as you point out.
