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

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.

Then how was his work basically free of errors? It seems so unlikely somebody would be able to write 17 books full of original proofs without somebody reviewing it, without any significant errors. The only famous error was speculation that the Euclid's 5th Postulate can be proven using the first four.

Scientific works are nearly always also evaluated after publication, not only before. Most of the published research is wrong. Peer-review is there to eliminate obvious errors.

His work was largely free of errors because he was a fucking genius. He really had no contemporaries fit to pass judgement on his work.

The science is evaluated post-publication, the scientific work, in the form of a published paper, is evaluated during the peer review process.

If most peer reviewed research is wrong, why do you keep harping on your own published papers (especially since you’ve said that the reviewer were not experts in the relevant fields)? If I was seeking to publish a paper on metallurgy, I certainly wouldn’t submit it to a journal with no metallurgists on the review board.
