You are right about the use of impact as a metric, definitely not perfect, and I think both of those sources probably oversell how poor scientific evaluation is in general. Some of the problem is that people are not incentivized to really care that much and they don’t specialize in grant/paper evaluation, the idea of having “professional reviewers” is interesting, but not sure how practically achievable it is.
I hadn’t heard about the idea of depth first search but it is exactly what I am talking about and you explained it very well, thank you for sharing.
