I'm not sure I follow the author. He seems to complain that peer review is not sufficient to counter incentives to game the h-index[1].
It sounds like the h-index has ceased to be a measure and is now a target. He doesn't explain the incentives around higher h-index(which decisions are based on h-index, which benefits does it confer), and what we might do to replace it as a target.
