So you want to be known for original results, which cannot be confirmed to be true? So what kind of results are they? Also your mentality is exactly part of the problem: you arrogantly believe that replication work is beneath you and that originality is all that matters.

So you want to be known for original results, which cannot be confirmed to be true? My results can be confirmed by anyone who wishes to do so, because I always publish my code. you arrogantly believe that replication work is beneath you I’ve done plenty of replication work when it was needed for my research. Replicating other people’s work however is not my responsibility and it is not usually required to perform original research.

  >Replicating other people’s work however is not my responsibility so you want to do science.... which requires there to be replication.... but somehow it's not your responsibility to replicate anything? last I checked the scientific method has to be followed through all the steps to be valid, not just the ones that you personally like

    I usually replicate someone's results for one of the two reasons: 1. I don't trust the results 2. I want to understand their work in sufficient detail Usually these reasons apply when I'm building directly on top of someone's work. This is not always the case. Often my research is based on ideas which could be tested by generating my own results. As long as I can replicate my own results I don't see a problem.

If what the parent poster discovers is interesting, and other people consider it to be valuable, they will replicate their results in the process of building on top of it. High-impact work that people care about gets built on, and replicated. Low impact work does not.
