You seem completely confused by the scientific method. They do not have an obligation to release all data, but rather to release the method by which data can be acquired. They released data for the paper actually published to justify their statistical analysis.
Any data that you receive from another scientist with the intention of reproducing their experiment is fundamentally tainted and violates the scientific method.
Please don't argue against straw men, it's annoying.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoIt's you who is confused. Scientists are normally obligated to release all data. It's the standard in most other fields (e.g., biology, econometrics). Running the same data analysis on existing data doesn't count as reproducing the experiment. Running a different analysis on the same data is, however, doing new science. In contrast, failing to release the data does count as "violating the scientific method".
