it's not about any of that "reasoning"... what matters it the conclusions: the results.

and even more than that, what matters is the capability of the paper to sway the opinion of real power.

our experience dealing with power may vary, in mine, power does not respond to "reasoning" nor any of that stuff.

nonetheless, I agree with your sentiment. why does science demand replication? IMO, a key underlying consequence is that ideas must be transferred, given away before they can be science.

the ideology of "real" human-centric science is equivalent to open source mindset. so then, my question is what to call all that research that happens, privately, in secret and under a lot of NDAs.... it is not science; that is product development.
