I honestly doubt this. The whole credit-stealing blame-shifting will inevitably put the blame on those with less power and status and set them up for retaliation. In all the years I've been working, I've honestly never solved a problem writing a peer review, ever. Many times, those don't even end up on a review or are shown to the person being reviewed, unless the person's manager wants it to be.
I'd also like to reference the 'fish rots from the head down' - while the meaning is true, I find this to be such a strange saying. I heard a better one that I've started to use from now on. "The house leaks from the roof on down"
What side is down on a fish anyway? And do they actually rot that way? Seems suspect to me. Perhaps an experiment is in order.

From experience, chopping off the head can keep the rest fresh a bit longer (gutting the fish helps more, as the fish is really rotting from the inside out). As for the direction, in a couple of other languages I'm familiar with the saying is more literally "the fish rots from the head" (Russian) or "the fish stinks from the head" (Hebrew), with directionality implied rather than explicit. Sort of like "burning the candle from both ends" versus "burning the candle from both ends inward", I guess.
