Oh, don't EVEN get me started about the laziness of
researchers/authors/reviewers/editors, or about how an article about "X" is
sent to three "peer reviewers" none of whom know diddly-squat about topic
"X", but maybe they went to grad school with the section editor, or they are
famous, or they always turn their reviews in on time, so who cares if they
know anything about the topic, or if they really read it before they said it
was great or mediocre.  Or what about the reviewer who actually read the
manuscript carefully and pointed out that it plagiarized a paper given by
grad students at a conference, without proper attribution, and was told that
it would be published as it was written anyway??

Gotta go watch the geeks on "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" (US TV show).
