If we had specifically made that claim, of course it would be valid to criticise us if we had not supported it. As we actually made no such claim but specified what we were looking at and why - because we are liberals who care about epistemology & consistent ethics - it is not

OK, so you're not claiming that the standards of peer review in 'grievance studies' is any worse than that in physics say. I stand corrected.

I have no idea whether it is or not or even whether they could be compared because dishonest or erroneous peer review in a field which upholds an evidence-based epistemology would look totally different to explicit rejection of an evidence-based epistemology.

I can see that if a subfield is essentially printing fairy stories, then it's hard to compare its peer review to that of physics.

I *thought* this was a test of peer-review in these journals, but am I now to understand that their peer-review standards are beside the point?
