“Peer review of scientific papers in top journals is bogged 
down by unnecessary demands for extra lab work, argues 
Hidde Ploegh.”

Peer review demands for extra experiments are "wasteful 
tyranny" - http://scientopia.org/blogs/drugmonkey/2011/04/27/peer-review-demands-for-extra-experiments-are-wasteful-tyranny/
