I can see the reason for not rewarding individual negative results, but not for not publishing them at all. Any single positive result is almost certainly the cumulation of lots of work, most of them being negative. You can’t pretend that you arrived at this positive result with zero failed attempts. Why can’t we ask for past negative results along with every positive result, just for the sake of completeness? The authors could have just released a bunch of Jupyter notebooks or whatever original format the negative experiment results are in - why everything in academia has to be written in a certain format where every word is carefully scrutinized to be considered useful?
