>Journals and conferences simply cannot serve as more than the weakest of filters. I can't help but think: if they aren't going to filter for rigor and quality, at least they can filter for style, clarity and communication ability. If we're going to basically start treating Real Journals as one tier above Arxiv, then I want those review processes to help make sure that papers are actually readable.
