It's a numbers game.

  • X submits paper to Journal 1, and peers A,B,C reject it.
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 2, and only peers D and E reject it.
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 3, and only peer G rejects it
  • X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 4, and no one rejects it.

Journal 4 increments prestige, Scientist X increments prestige, but nothing true or good is actually gained.

Science.

Did peer F get murdered for indicating they were going to reject the paper? ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿง

NOT science. At all. That's publication and clout. Two things science distinctly is NOT, but needs because information must still disseminate in some way.
