So, who else was proposing to pay for peer-review time? I’d be concerned if there was some sort of pay-for-result that seemed tied to this, but I don’t see any evidence of that from this article. Aspersions are cast, but nothing of substance is there to say that the process isn’t impartial.
But also companies don’t do things for free, so what were they hoping to get out of paying?
