Were we talking about peer review earlier?

Yes, we were. Here’s a fun illustrated look at it (“Peer Fortress: The Scientific Battlefield”). For example,

The Demoman

Right from the title, the Demoman knew your paper had to be rejected.

If the review must exceed the length of your manuscript to accomplish this, so be it. Your paper is too simply dangerous to publish.

It must, and will, be stopped.

More a treatise on your incompetence than a traditional peer review, this tome leaves no nit unpicked.

Papers that receive the Demoman’s gentle touch must be identified through dental records.
