Exactly. It seems unlikely that prestigious researchers will be unable to publish their brilliant but unconventional idea because they can't fully utilize their fame to sway editors. In fact, prestigious researchers have exactly what is needed to ensure their idea will take hold if it has merit: job security. They have plenty of time to nurture and develop their idea until it is accepted.
The title of the post is "Does blind review slow down science?", not "Does blind review stop science?". The prestigious researchers may have the time, but there are plenty of members of humanity that don't. Science is slow enough as it is. We would be well advised to consider any factors that may speed up progress.
