In the field I used to work in (cogsci, neurocognition), peer review has been broken for over 30 years. Peer reviewers didn't care about the conclusion. If there was data and a p-value that met superficial scrutiny, any conclusion would be accepted. Combined with shoddy methodology and a disdain for statistics, this led to a deluge of completely untested theories, and the reproducability crisis.
