Plausible result, but considering that this HN post is appearing on the same day as one of the top posts is about scientific fraud… let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

I say it all the time: provocative experimental results should be considered fraudulent until the raw data is shared, and then spurious until replicated.

I would put this only slightly differently: experimental results should be considered unpublishable without the raw data, and irrelevant until replicated.
