Indeed, at least until they can't be. The whole "reproducibility" business is because of an emerging "replication crisis," where it has been found that a large swath of published studies fail attempts at replication. Articles about this situation usually say something to the effect of "even in physics," though usually without evidence. A variety of causes have been proposed, such as abuse / ignorance of statistics, bad experimental design, and even outright chicanery.
