A huge part of the problem is that the layperson is taught otherwise.

2nd grade we learned the scientific method. I don't remember peer reviewed being a thing.

Replication was critical.

Also, I've seen peer reviewed papers with atrocious stuff in them, unless I know the peer, it doesn't mean much to me. Give me 100 independent groups coming to the same conclusions. That has far more weight than a few of your friends/professors reading your paper.
