The other difference is that as far as I know, computer science is the only discipline for which industry has solved the problem of reproducibility; it's one thing to be asked to design a method to run reproducible studies of humans, it's another to ask researchers to run `git remote add https://github.com/user/repo && git push --set-upstream`. That's not asking for any support, or other effort on the researcher's part, and I frankly don't understand how the CS academic community doesn't have this as a standard when it'd be so easy to implement.
