No he doesn’t. Asking for verification on a study is incredibly scientific.

No... doing your own analysis to verify the study is incredibly scientific. And the authors have provided you their code.

So find a bug in the implementation which can invalidate one of their claims. Lack of tests, is not a bug.

Please, go on; what kind of verification do you want? How would you like to see this codebase improved in order to bring about that verification?
