Instead of 1 reviewer, have 10; also, don't we benefit as a society when everyone is more highly educated? Sure, we have a ways to go before we get there, namely with regards to resistance to disinformation training and including more resistance to populism / fascism in the curriculum so that we have a chance to build better and more equal societies.

The fact you couldn't get the math right on how many reviewers we'd need for the situation to not get worse kinda makes my point better than I could.

I think he meant number of reviewers per paper? Not total of reviewers.

BTW, I do think a highly educated society should give everyone capability to review or at minimum distinguish good papers

Sorry, I wish I could blame my callused fingers and the touchscreen, but I didn't stop to do the math, because that's not the point I was addressing.
