== Quotes == <blockquote> "The pressure for conformity is enormous. I have experienced it in editorsβ rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous referees. The replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science." β Julian Schwinger </blockquote> <blockquote> "Also, funding by peer review results in group-think and whole scientific fields floating off in a self-perpetuating irreality bubble for decades. Randomness will fund mavericks, mostly crackpots, but some may blow up established dysfunctional disciplines." β [https://twitter.com/i/status/1128389263526060032 David Chapman] </blockquote> <blockquote> "A technical argument by a trusted author, which is hard to check and looks similar to arguments known to be correct, is hardly ever checked in detail." β [https://www.ias.edu/ideas/2014/voevodsky-origins Vladimir Voevodsky] </blockquote> <blockquote> "Research by salaried laborers is becoming a rent-seeking citation ring consisting of large scale imitative rituals, with a decreasing number of results, an increasing cluelessness of participants, and a multiplication of useless rules." β [https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1009417068926722048 Nassim Nicholas Taleb] </blockquote>
