You haven't convinced me, you only made an appeal to authority. It's fine if you don't accept my evidence or reasoning but just appealing to authority or tradition is not an argument that the current system is better than an alternative one.

I made a few claims but I don't believe I made any appeals to authority. That would be of the form "peer review is good because X says so, therefore you are wrong". If you wish to challenge any of the claims I made I am open to it.
