This also brings up a huge issue with "peer review" in the social sciences.
Highly subjective material + little diversity in the field + publish or perish = self-reinforcing groupthink.

There is, but there are also huge issues with peer review in general. Here's an interesting article. There are a bunch more like it out there, criticism of the process has become somewhat popular in the past few years.
Not that that is "proof" or whatever, but it brings up some of the flaws in the process that apply to even the hard sciences.
