Sorry, but that makes no sense.
1. Peer review of research is
not credential review of researcher. Yes, knowing the credential helps screen out the science equivalent of crazy guy on street corner. However, no credential given is not the same as no credential. It is the research itself that must be reviewed.
2. Credential has nothing to do with the possibility of validating the "claims" presented. To validate the test results presented, you rely on the ability to consistently repeat (or not) the presented results through your own testing.
