I mean, dealing with the multitude of irreducible results in the natural sciences is a major source of what I would consider to be very bad science, owing to institutionalized biases formed from 'conclusions' made from previously unwarranted results. While it as well is a major issue in medicine, no one dies when some ones claims of a soil carbon characteristic or a stomatal conductance trait end up being irreducible; in-fact it can cost you a career to even open up the can of worms which is validating the previous results on which your work claims to be based.
There are two issues at odds here as I see it. One, science is a career, and if you don't show results, well, it will be a short career indeed. Two, science is a philosophy which governs the determination of the best `truth` possible given the evidence. The two are highly at odds, and perhaps this may give a way to at least resolve some issues related to irreconcilability in all science.
