Thanks for the thoughtful post. I think honest brokers, which are most scientists in academia, aren't trying to end run peer review. I don't think I'm alone when I say that they're trying to do an end-run around the artificial editorial gatekeeping that drives Impact Factor hyperinflation. My Twitter feed alone is a miraculous sieve that lets in flecks of knowledge and keeps out most detritus. Filtration systems exist and will improve. Self publish or perish!
