I really don't get it. Just look at history and linguistics, or even archeology if you want a more fact based science. We are lightyears ahead of what we were doing in the 50s. And even this hyperbole is not enough to explain how thing changed. We evolved from Maxwell to Planck in 20 years, and every decade new methods arrive to help figuring out what we previously missed. Yes some journals are political (or in the case of Intelligence, want to avoid controversy as their subject is already controversial). This doesn't have any impact on the science. Editors are not scientists, and are not doing science. Obviously.
