> This is a myth. Modern "peer review" simply means checking to see if the claim is interesting and if the proper Word or LaTeX template was used.

I got peer review from two reviewers on a paper submitted to Frontiers last week--it consisted of much more than that. Sure, the reviewers couldn't replicate our exact work themselves, but the paper's methodology was also heavily considered, and both reviewers asked for modifications to be made on different parts of the paper.

It's an imperfect system, but it's not as if there's a rubber stamp floating around. The goals of the the peer review system vs. open source are fundamentally different, and the way the products for both are treated should reflect that.
