It was a reasonable idea and worth testing, but I think we should start the criticism a step earlier than replication. There were a lot of issues with the original study, both methodological failures (testing saliva after giving rewards) and academic ones (the admitted p-hacking). This was a worthwhile experiment that would never have reached initial publication if held to existing best practices.
