In an ideal world, criticism of peer review would be just joke. In reality, it can fail because peers are human. Yes, it is a rare event... unless you are on the receiving end, and your work is effectively banned.
A good example is criticism of the Big Bang theory. Whether the theory is right or wrong, scientists should have the opportunity to freely and openly criticise it. This is not the case. See the article at
