You can write the above and I can respond. The quality of each response is visible to everyone. Your ideas and mine are actually getting reviewed here, now, at least to some degree. Or it can be seen that they are not getting reviewed or indeed there's a non-zero chance that it can be seen that one or both of us is a muppet. Anyone else can chime in and be ignored, or celebrated or anything else.

This is nothing like academic journal peer review, where you can't see the failed submissions for the paper and why. You have no clue if the reviewers were interested in the topic, diligent, drunk or playing politics "support papers from these institutions because they're the good guys, undermine those because they are or aren't from Europe." You have no idea if the paper has since failed to replicate on multiple occasions. You have no idea if you are the first person to actually read the paper and when you have you thoughts, no matter how insightful, well articulated and supported by evidence, those thoughts do not matter to the publication process of that paper, which has been peer reviewed.

Public review by the knowledgeable who care is a very different thing to so called "peer review."
