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
- p1esk 3y agoI 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.
