Double blind peer review is standard in medical journals.

It is not totally standard. According to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5213965/#CR7, JAMA, NEJM and Lancet are single blind.

BMJ does open reviews https://bmjopen.bmj.com/pages/reviewerguidelines/.

Well, all of the standard journals in my sub-field use it.

What is your sub-field?

I've been so thorough in several reviews that the authors figured out who it was (or at least narrowed it down to my wife or me).

Our expertise is unique.

You would lose too, since you wouldn't be able to write a paper about ER=EPR

So if ##ER\ne 0## then ##P=1##?! :-D

Assuming commutativity of ##P## with either ##E## or ##R##.
