How did science get done for the centuries before peer review?
I would answer differently than you: “Very inefficiently and with lots of errors”.
As opposed to quick, reliable present-day peer-reviewed science? ;-)
“Very inefficiently and with lots of errors”
Well, not that this has changed...
What leads you to that conclusion? When do you think peer review began and how do you judge efficiency before and after?
