  You don't have much experience in it, do you? The real world peer review process could not be furher from what you are describing. Source: I've personally been involved in peer reviewing in fields as diverse as computer science, quantum physics and applied animal biology. I've recently left those fields in part because of how terrible some of the real-world practices are.
