In fact it seems to a recent minor event. Traditional peer review would have dealt with it, but the "journals" that published the fake papers clearly weren't doing that.
It's not all that practical to organise rigorous live debates when authors and referees are spread around the world.
Cursitor Doom won't be aware of that because he has never published a paper in a peer-reviewed journal, or refereed a paper submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.
The clowns at Zero Hedge won't have either.
