The whole subject of science has degenerated into a cacophony of psycobabble.
And little wonder, since the loss of public education in this country and Mike McCormick's permanent castration of basic research in the late 70's, there has been very little capability for critical and/or creative thought coming into physics and other sciences for the past several decades.
Referees have always (since the earliest days of science and philosophy) been thought to be a_holes by those whose articles have been severely criticized or rejected for publication or presentation.
In addition, outfits like NSF went from being a good-old-boys network comprised of very competent scientists to a political network of anal hacks.
It's only going to get worse, unless someone comes along with the balls to start all over by abolishing government schools and the Fabians scum that control them. Then, and only then, is there a long-term hope that science can be restored to the levels of the 17th, 18th, and first 75 years off the 20th centuries.
