So true. Peer review is in part relying on consensus, but consensus only works if you can trust the peers. But peers who are sheep and who rely on authority for what they believe, are not trustable. Medicine is a major example of where this all fails. A lot of medical 'professionals' are merely liberal minds operating in a technical field. They are conditioned to obey authority. The doctors who deviate from this get ostracized. And the top of the food chain is the CDC, which is politicized and untrustable.
