Given that replicability would presumably be about predicting observable statistics, an incorrect calculation wouldn't change it.
I.e., observe a bernoulli trial and see 60 successes in 100 trials. Plan a followup study which will repeat the bernoulli trial 100x - predictions would be on the # of successes in the followup, not some statistical analysis.
The phrase "science advances one funeral at a time" is somewhat orthogonal to this idea - it tends to be about older scientists being unwilling to accept new theories in spite of repeated successes. Such scientists would lose their money if they bet or be ignored if they didn't.
