Peer review is nothing but confirmation bias as most academic fields are inbred and everyone supports everyone else's claims since they were all educated in the same way and all share the same core beliefs.
This has always been especially evident in the social sciences were irreproducible results were affirmed times and again simply on the basis of authority without any real testing.
Medicine is not much different and a lot of "peer-reviewed" studies are false or just plain made-up but nobody bothers to check and they just take them as true on faith.

I claim the methods they used to analyze the PCA studies are also being misused.
Two can play this game.
