I'm really disappointed that PubPeer is used so little outside of bio/medical/social science fields. I'm not sure why this is. There seems to be essentially negligible interest in spotting mistakes in the literature in CS/physics/math/engineering (outside of materials science, just glacing at the site).

(For the record: I have posted a comment on PubPeer myself so I'm not a hypocrite.)
