"Original research" isn't worth much unless replicated, which is the entire problem being discussed in this thread. Replicating studies are great though because they tell you if the original research actually stands and is valid.

> Replicating work is far more difficult than a lot of original work.

Only if the original work was BS. And what, just because it's harder, we shouldn't do it?

Why blame just the journals when every other system also disintivizes the same.

I must be missing something, surely the argument isn't "other systems also disincentivize solving the problem, therefore we shouldn't work to fix this one"
