If you have "yeah I guess it works" code, you're likely producing "yeah I guess it's right" science, and that's not really the point it seems.
But yes, you're right. Perfecting things is at cross-purposes with the frenetic pace of research. Crappy untested code gets written under duress. Resist it. That needs to change, just as the whole funding model needs to reward verification more than new discovery... But back to the code, if the code is wrong, the science is likely to be as well.
