Peer review isnt central, but it doesn't try to ensure a method is being followed.

If you are spending time, money, and risk based on a claim, verification still helps to cull info that is deceptive or done with methods so shoddy it might as well be lying.

Sure, you can verify through your failures, but that isnt great. You company goes belly up and you can confidently say the blog was bullshit.
