There is a huge difference between physical and computer sciences. I agree that it's an excellent use of time for new students if the main factor for the work is time/salary. This paper was aimed towards medical/bio/clinicians and when you add material costs, the variability of biology and multiple people required to run large experiments everything falls apart. One of my PhD projects (Primate neuroscience and new medical devices) took 4 years2 grad students2 staff6 animals (only 2 made the paper)animal housing costs for 4 years + ~$150k in materials. And there are only ~10 research labs in the world that have the ability to do this type of research so no one is going to . We see a lot more replication via extension - "this theory worked for this group, what if we take that as true and extend it in a new direction, where does the science fall apart there?" I'm not arguing that replication isn't important and a lot of false positives get through into the literature but without 10x-ing the research budget and infrastructure as well as changing the publication incentives there isn't going to be any real movement.
