"The peer review process is susceptible to conflicts of interest and is easily turned into a form of censorship. It can ensure that published results align with a particular consensus theory. Science is not a democratic process. It is in no sense dependent upon consensus, nor is truth the outcome of a vote. Indeed, consensus is the very antithesis of real science. When a peer review panel begins to promote a particular theory, science is no longer the criterion. Political correctness displaces the physics and the chemistry."Like everybody else, scientists try to please the people who pay them. If those people have an agenda, they scientists tend to promote it. Because politicians always have a political agenda, the virtual monopoly of scientific funding by government has thoroughly corrupted science.
