While I think there are lots of problems with the academic journal system, please, please, please do not reason from analogy like this article does. This is a complex topic that deserves being reasoned about directly. Presenting an analogy which is obviously artificial just primes readers with a false, oversimplified narrative. Don't do this. This is highly misleading, and the bias that results from the priming is corrosive to clear reasoning.
