Good point - though it always has been!
It does annoy me when people hang hats on that phrase - because those that actually REALLY KNOW about peer-reviewing, still squirm a little with embarrassment!
Still.... it should be said that a "peer-reviewed" system is certainly better than having that not happen, and is probably the best system we have at present...
