But... but... there is ample room to literally experiment, change variables, optimize methods, eliminate smaller problems, and more importantly to test other hypotheses. it should not depend on mindless/random trial-and-error guesswork and faith-based replication. yes, it's hard to write everything down well. look at the recent DARPA paralell replication study. but it gives very high quality research/science for a little overhead.
