Science is based on trust. All incentices are against research that verifies results: you don’t get funding, you don’t get published, you are not doing original research etc. If we cannot trust the results, everything is a house of cards, because not only are the papers wrong, also all papers depending on that paper may be affected. The scientific system should not be based on blind trust but have processes in place that makes it more resilient.
