The peer review process

I think oftentimes we as human beings do not like the review process because it entails criticism just by its very nature. However, it has been my personal experience that the feed back I receive from others has often allowed me to see things from a perspective I may not have considered. Perhaps it is like talking to a neutral party about a crisis you may be facing in your life; you may not like or even agree with what is being said but it allows you to see things differently. This is the same with writing. When a person writes they are often seeing things from only one perspective, theirs, and thus cannot see where errors may have occured or possible new information may be added (or deleted). for this reason I am a fan of peer review because by looking at things in a different light the point you yourself are trying to make may be able to be done more effectively.
