With regard to your argument, I would think it obvious that peer-review alone is *not* a sufficient to establish what is "good science". That is why we do *assessment*, i.e., use our own expert judgement to assess what is and is not appropriate or relevant for our report within the peer-reviewed literature. I think this is obvious.
