People can write things that aren't true! Oh no, now we can't trust trustworthy texts such as scientific papers that have undergone peer review!

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.
