You gotta love the peer review process working in public. Now (thanks to the internet) readers correct mistakes so that by the time the paper reaches the journals, it's already been vetted quite a bit. Before that, the public pre-publication vetting process would have been a lot slower (e.g. to be done in conferences) if done at all.
