Right?
- KirinDave 17y agoYes, but you're implying that direct reproduction of the work with the original subject is necessary. Obviously, it is not required in a variety of scientific fields. For example, research into medicine cannot re-infect a patient with a disease to re-test a vaccine to "reproduce" the experiment, that would be unethical. If multiple lines of evidence all indicate the same thing, that is considered reproducible enough.
