Does rice milk or milk from grain-fed cows emit less methane?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Who peer reviewed Anaximander? Archimedes? Euclid? Who reviewed the work of the nameless genius who invented the bow and arrow?

Your point is wrong. Flat wrong.

Seriously, dude? You think Euclid worked alone? You think Euclid did not ask other mathematicians (most of which are presumably unknown today) what they think about his work before publishing it? You think that scientists in ancient times were acting like cranks today, bombarding ignorant people with controversial statetements they don't know how to evaluate?

Yes, I think Euclid worked alone - there is no evidence indicating otherwise. As has been explained to you, talking to people about your work isn’t the same as peer review.

In fact, until the mid-17th century (and, to a lesser extent, after), scientific works were evaluated after publication, not before. Please understand - I am NOT denying the value of peer review. When properly conducted, it is vital to the dissemination of scientific information. But science as science would chug along just fine without it.

Your other question is too stupid to bother with.
