While reviewing is really important in science, it is also good to realize that peer reviewing is a relatively new invention. Many important scientific discoveries, like Einstein's theory of relativity (1905) or the double helical structure of DNA by Watson and Crick (1953) were not peer reviewed by modern standards.
