I've always felt like this should be the norm. Why would you trust something before it can be replicated? Even if it's unintentional, people make mistakes.

If you are close enough with a scientist, generally they will admit they don’t trust a single study Some fields also have guardrails, such as the LIGO being two separate detectors a with two independent teams
