That is true, to an extent.
Corporations do have a peer review system, but it is nowhere near as elaborate as what you have in the "open" community. They have networks of collaborators that have signed nondisclosure agreements that review proposals and research, and this does give them a degree if peer review.
It pales in comparison, however, with presenting your project at an international conference in a focus group of dozens of the top minds in your field. One weekend at one of these can alter the whole course of your research, show whole new avenues to pursue, and open you to things that had never before even crossed your mind.
The first part is true, the second is not.
Adipose (fat) tissue requires little or no energy to maintain, and has a very low water content. Muscle requires a lot more maintainence and a lot more water. Fat is stored in large intracellular sacs, with little organization. Muscle is highly organized and avoiding entropy costs energy.
The resting rate at which those two people burn calories will be different, with the higher value on the "exercising behemoth" side.
BTW, resting heart rate drops, but ejection volume (ammount of blood moved with each beat) increases. The ammount of energy expended in each beat is much higher. This is because of the increased water content results in increased blood voume. Increased blood volume gives more inertia to the circulating blood, making it harder to move and harder to stop.
