The point of the Sokal affair is that the social science journals do not employ real peer review. Are you saying the same is true of the Biology journals?

The Sokal affair was not something that "happened to slip through" but part of a giant problem where humanities "peer-review" is not based on valid argument, but on conformance to pre-conceived ideas of the reviewers.

Again, are you saying the same is true of Biology journals?

The evidence certainly suggests that in this case.
