Reminder that "peer review" is part of the scientific journal system, not part of the scientific process itself. Journals have it done to serve their own interests, to save on paper/printing expenses and maintain their prestige. Peer reviewer isn't replication (which is actually important to the scientific process.) Google n-grams for "peer review" and you'll see that nobody was talking about it before the 1960s.
