My attitude? What attitude is that?

A single non-replication does not. Consistent failure to replicate, after communicating with the original author, does.

See e.g.

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/cover_story...

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v483/n7391/full/483531a...

Or just google "reproducibility crisis", the two most common subjects that come up are cancer research and psychology research.
