To Referious

Peer reviewing is the scientific mechanism of filtering research out of journals by giving the decision of publication to your competitors. It serves as a constant reminder that science is a social construction, and a painfully irrational process that can make out of any scientist a pagan.

I have submitted my paper; let the wait-until-the-referee-screams-at-me game begin.

May this paper go through the journal's editor,
as swiftly as this dagger through the heart of this predator.
May the reviewers not find in their souls,
the phrases "it has been all done" or "it's all wrong".
