Yes! There is "reproducibility" in the sense that you can run the code and get the same answer, and this can be very useful. But I don't see that as the core domain of the research paper, which is to describe a new discovery. The papers job should be to explain the discovery and give appropriate supporting evidence. This leads to a stronger form or reproducibility, like you say, which is "I understand the discovery and I can do it too". That's not the same as generating the exact result the authors' show. And a paper that is reproducible in the first sense but not in the second is of limited scientific value.

If anything, I'd like to see more focus on giving evidence of generality of a result, vs just sharing everything needed to get back the same specific result
