Ok, I got 12, 18, 45. Does anyone want to verify my results? If so, I'll write up a paper describing what they mean... Hopefully it is clear that that data is useless without some written text explaining what it means. Given that for hundreds of years the accepted way of presenting that explanatory text was by writing papers, I don't see any reason to abandon that. Tweaking our strategies for replication (after a description of the experiment has been published!) and reputation don't seem to contradict that.
