The crisis, then, is that people take results as truth before they've been replicated.

The more reasonable expectation is not that the results will be successfully replicated, but that the experiment can be replicated. In other words: That there is enough detail that someone else can try to confirm the results.

The problem is we've come to rely on first publication of results far too much. A first publication of a result should be seen as "here's an interesting result; someone please confirm." Not as "here are some new facts for you."

I’m no academic but I’ve read a few papers specifically because I wanted to implement what they talk about. None have been useful for this purpose. I don’t know how you can possibly replicate them if there is insufficient detail on the “apparatus”.
