I think that this has good intentions, at least. Science should be easily reproducible. But using the median for this is very very silly, and I don't think the results from this are very meaningful.

The claim that science should be easily reproducible is wrong. Take collider experiments, or huge data set analysis problems.
The actual claim is that it is better if science is easily reproducible, but sometimes you just have to make do with what's feasible.
Well, the goal is fair: It would be nice to have science reproducible. There are simply a lot of pragmatic (and ethical, and legal ...) reasons why it often is not.
