It can also be hard to judge whether replication failed because the result is bogus or replication failed because the replication team is themselves incompetent.
Did they follow the exact same steps claimed to result in something? Did it result in that thing?
The repetition team being incompetent sounds like a cop out. The researcher did a bad job and it’s on them to explain better etc in that case. No excuses, if it can’t be reproduced it isn’t taken seriously no exceptions
