About Reproducibility

If two scientist cannot get the same results for the same experiment then the experiment is considered unreliable.
If an experiment cannot be reproduced 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 reproducible.
