[Liberty Wins]

Science journals publishing only material that makes them comfortable would produce a closed circle of the faithful preaching to each other.

I am reminded of the way Reagan chose his White House staff. He could have appointed all of them from his conservative followers. However, he had a mixture of conservative, liberal and (ycchh) moderate advisors, because he felt the back-and-forth discussion contributed to the best decisions in the end.

There's a difference between disagreeing with a research paper and finding "fatal flaws" in a research paper. Ichneumon spoke of a work as being "fatally flawed", not a mere disagreement.

Please try to be a little less blatant with your dishonesty.

And, in the end, HE made the decision.
