The Carpinterio wants to remind everyone that this concept of "incestuous amplification" was discussed by none other than Donald Kennedy, the editor of SCIENCE in an editorial he ran about "Reverse Peer Review" and was discussed on this blog. It was of course The Carpinterio's opinion that Donald Kennedy had himself participated in a reverse peer review process, abdicating his self described job description ... he details this nicely in his subsequent editorial "The Ivory Bill Returns" which candidly lays out the extra special attention that Fitzcrow got when he went a shopping for his "peer review debut" ...
These two pieces, by the editor of SCIENCE, are a classic piece of this whole story and the two editorials need to be read together ... I think that Piltdownperson has arrived at this analogy on her own, but it is clear that the editor of Science himself understands it too, even if at this point he isn't admitting it.
Benvendidos a reality,
THE CARPINTERIO REAL

Transparent peer review.
Cryptic e-mails.
Amplified Iraqi intelligence estimates.
Falling into the same traps as the neo cons. Not our liberal, elitist, ivy covered institutions. That's impossible. The bird must live.
We get the message.
Gosh darn it! I thought this was another one of those dang alien postings!
