Race conditions and certain forms of non-determinism could invalidate the results of a given study. Code is essentially a better-specified methods section, it just says what they did. Scientists are expected to include a methods section for exactly this reason, and any scientist worried about including a methods section in their paper would be rightly rejected. However, a methods section is always under-specified. Code provides the unique opportunity to actually see the full methods on display and properly review their work. It should be mandated by all reputable journals and worked into the peer review process.
