If anyone has information which contradicts the McIntyre quote, I hope they will provide it. But not as unsourced opinion, because that is not encyclopedic: that's bias. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:30, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

==POV?==
I added this: Peer review is no guarantee of "correctness." It simply means that an article has met certain criteria to be published, including a high quality of work, is not plagiarized, and is based on sound science. Science does not quantify "correctness" and does not "prove" anything, given the un-overcomable limitations of our measuring devices and perceptions. What is "correct" today could be shown to be radically different in the future.
Please explain how this is POV, while your assertion that journals suppress challenges to established science isn't. Have you even read a scientific journal? '''Journals gain their reputation on challenging the established scientific establishment. People win Nobel prizes for challenging the scientific establishment. People become famous for challenging the scientific establishment.''' However, this is only the case when they're based on '''reality''' and can be demonstratively proven. Perhaps the reason that the vast majority of journals refuse to publish studies attemptign to disprove global climate change is because those studies are shallow, pathetic excuses for scientific work?
I strongly suggest you refrain from promulgating your opinions on the way science is performed until you take part in scientific research. [[User:Stryker|Stryker]] 12:32, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
