Substitute with a statement like:
"Even when the Journal of Nuclear Physics considers itself peer-reviewed, the people who review there are are probably also nuclear physicists."
or a statement like:
"Even when the Journal of Medical Science considers itself peer-reviewed, the people who review there are are probably also doctors."
And you see the problem. The argument goes like this:
"The paranormal is paranormal, therefore the paranormal is fake"
Or:
"Scientists who research the paranormal are unreliable because they research the paranormal".
... and you can see why the argument is just not satisfactory.
