Note that I am not endorsing the concept of peer review in general (though it's not all bad)
Anyway, science & its grounding in reality and testability keep us from spiralling off into Talmudic bullshit

(the "philosophy" of the flat earth?) anyway, these simple observations aren't "science" in any modern sense the fact that you're citing 3,000 year old debates is proof of how useless science, as a modern, formalized system, is
We could talk about more recent great achievements of science like the germ theory of disease, evolution and its mechanism, nuclear bombs and power, electricity, computers, and even the smallpox vaccine... I'm not sure why you'd say they're just engineering and not science
i disagree with pretty much everything there but this got tiresome i provided you three links if you'd like to debate with others
You disagree with nuclear bombs and computers?
it's not just peer review (though, yeah, that's been a punchline for decades) it's the entire artifice of P values and compounding citations making virtually everything a house of cards, mathematically it's the lack of blinding it's the dissolution of true placebos etc etc etc
