Counterpoint: I have a friend who works in a biomed lab where results would regularly just be made up. If a lab culture takes 5 years to grow, reproducibility is more of a theoretical than a practical matter. Also, not every reviewer has a particle accelerator in their back yard. Or the money to reproduce large computational models. A lot of published results only pass peer review because you essentially trust the authors not to have made up their numbers.
