I think their implication is that you'd simply make use of peer review without treating it as infallible.

Treating something or someone as infallible contradicts the basic principles of science.

So then you must agree, "Peer reviewers of Nature did a bad job" is a poor dismissal of their criticisms

That was my question; glad you saw it; it's still unanswered; providing testable evidence for a claim is another basic principle of science; if the article or the reviewers are wrong, the top commenter has to give them a chance to recognise that by providing evidence for review.

I'm not following your point anymore. I wish you would just explain your criticism instead of making these snarky comments.

What snarky comments? I asked a question. You even quoted it. There is no reason to become aggressive.

All your comments are snarky!

If you're polite and respectful to people, they respond better. Give it a try. :-)

And your comment could be taken as condescending. I don't see how that adds anything to the discussion.
