I completely agree. A recomputation of an experiment is not ensuring reproducibility of the scientific result. It's ensuring reproducibility of the individual experiment. The analogy I have given is with cold fusion. If we could reproduce their exact lab setup then we could find out if the results were real - i.e. were not misread or anything, and assuming they were, have a chance of explaining the anomaly. But no, it's not the same as reproducibility.
