>peer review This kills the science. Begging your direct competitors to be *allowed* to publish is a very bad idea. For proper peer review, you need to publish *first* and then have your peers review your findings. Otherwise you get a situation where anything that goes against the current zeitgeist is automatically shut down. That is, if you can get the funding for it anyways, and somehow get away with asking the questions in the first place without being fired, blacklisted, and having "students" literally hunt you down in the streets.
