I mean.... have you seen the scathing reports on scientific papers, psychology especially? Peer review doesn't catch liars. It catches bad experimental design, and it sometimes screens out people the reviewers don't like. Replication can catch liars sometimes, but even in the sciences that are 'hard' it is rare to see replication because that doesn't bring the grant money in.
