I realize some people have taken my comment to be speaking on the efficacy of the peer review process but that was not my intent. I have no experience reading or reviewing papers, or with the journal publication process. My point was more to the fact that HN is a public forum in which anyone can participate and so elevating it above (what I hope are) subject matter experts seemed rather arrogant. To be fair, the OP has since expanded with a more complete comment and it seems to be a similar sentiment to the things you and a couple others have shared.
