Yeah, i dunno. Peer Review is basically just the forerunner to an internet message board. No one likes being wrong.
It reminds me of an old Einstein tale, where he was positive he was right, back before he was famous, you know back when he was an amaetuer scientist, and while he was... he'd done his calculations wrong, he had planned a big display to show off he was right, and luckily something came up and he couldn't go through with it... he didn't get to announce it.
Later realzing his error he was happy because he realized if he had went through with it, his career would of been over and it'd be 50 years before anyone took his theory seriously again.
