About Repeatability

If a scientist cannot get the same results when repeating an experiment then the experiment is considered unreliable.
If an experiment cannot be repeated then it is likely that there were control variables that were not properly controlled.
Reliable conclusions cannot be drawn from an experiment which is not repeatable.
