    Replication rarely happens and in many cases is outright impossible due to lack of shared code.

    Things should be replicable, but that hasn’t been the case for a while.

      So then the failure of the scientific method is that people aren’t following it. That’s not so much a problem with the method.

        If a method can’t practically be followed it’s a sign of a bad method, or at least one that needs modification.

      the correct term you need is ‘unachievable’, not ‘false’.

        That’s just wordplay to make the problem seem like it’s not as big of a problem.
