Fun! What the teacher doesn't mention is that there are plenty of peer-reviewed papers in which the peers are a group that was specifically selected to support the study design and conclusions. So, just because an article is peer-reviewed and got itself published in a major journal doesn't mean we don't need to read it with a critical eye. It is also essential to determine who funded the study and what affiliations the authors have.
