I am actually personally acquainted with Dr. Charlton, former editor of MH. He has some legit concerns about the epistemic effects of peer review (as well as the "business" of science---obtaining grants, etc.). I'm torn, because on the one hand I wish everything from MH came with a giant "UNPROVEN AND DOES NOT FIT YOUR SCHEMA OF AN ACADEMIC PAPER" disclaimer, and that that would pass through when adapted to other media (like, say, this press release). On the other hand I basically share concerns about the peer review process and the stranglehold it can have on research.
