Anyone who has submitted what they thought was a good paper only to see it rejected and torn to pieces is sure to be jaded. Its not a fun process to go through. Unfortunately it is the best and most accepted way of proving your data to be valid. If someone can suggest a better way of making scientists prove the validity of their work, feel free to post one. I'd certainly like to take it and forward it to my university for evaluation. Having said that, it is still the only process that identifies valid work in the scientific community. Cry all you want, but that's the way it is.
Now how did you put that? Soak that up buttercup.
