Of course the peer review process is susceptible to human failings. I knew a professor from Berkley who was dating a farmer & that farmer would do prescribed burns mimicking the local native Americans centuries old tradition which is good for the health of the forest. Long story short, farmer John was dating many women & when the professor found out about those women, she decided to write a paper making his work with local native American burn practices look very bad & stupid. He lost his grant opportunities cause of the emotionally motivated academic smearing done by a scorned lover who happened to be a professor from Berkley, lol. Academics haven't looked the same to me since.
