    Even if it was peer reviewed there’s no means to ensure the input is meritable. The sample set was determined by governance. The implied conclusions were predetermined.

      Part of the point of the peer review process is to check for that. This kind of satay would be very hard to fake well enough to pass the scrutiny of a bunch of skeptical scientists. And if it passes that any scientist will be able to do the same. Being able to force an other scientist to retract a Nature paper would be a high prize for any academic.
