I understand (though don't necessarily agree with) most of this perspective, but not the knock on code reviews. I think they're awesome - what could be more fun than reading and discussing other peoples' approaches to problems?

It's a very useful thing to do. Except that most of this discussion should be a design review much earlier in the process.

Design reviews are also awesome! I'm not sure I agree with your use of "most" - I would say that most things discussed in code reviews I've participated in would not have made sense in the design phase. Also, code reviews are as much for the reviewer's knowledge as for the author's.
