Peer review specifically checks that what is being said passes scrutiny by experts in the field, so it is very much about what is being said.


They why isn't it double blind ?


Often reviewing is executed double blind for exactly this reason. This can be difficult in small fields where you can more-or-less guess who's working on what, but the intent is definitely there.


I've reviewed computational linguistics papers in the past (I'm retired now, and the field is changing out from under me, so I don't do it any more). But all the reviews I did were double blind.
