Just a thought: as the number of narrow specialists grows, so does decrease the number of peers who can “double-blindly” revise one's work, turning the review process into a fallacy.
So, will there be out there that beautiful and magical moment when joint work will become a realm, at least within such narrow fields?

Though your point is valid one still the process of peer review will continue as it is a necessary process to ensure quality of articles.

I see your point. As specialization narrows, the number of experts in the field diminishes and so your "peer review" is likely to be performed by either a rival or a friend.
Unfortunately, working jointly with either your pals or your rivals (or both) would narrow the field even further!
