That sounded interesting so I looked into it. It seems to instead support peer review. According to this [1], Einstein's paper that didn't pass peer review turned out to be wrong (it said gravitational waves didn't exist), and was later published elsewhere with different conclusions and fixing problems that the referee's report had already pointed out. > The irony, of course, is that Einstein could have found that escape route months earlier, simply by reading the referee’s report that he had dismissed so hastily. The referee had also observed that casting the Einstein–Rosen metric (as we now call this solution of the Einstein equations) in cylindrical coordinates removes the apparent difficulty.
