If a self-published article included full equipment and software to replicate their results in a multimedia fashion (basically included engineering), would that alter your snob-ness?

It's about laziness and efficiency rather than snobbery, IMHO.

You're outsourcing the QC to a trusted third party.

Reading papers takes up enough time and effort as it is. I do not have the time to reproduce all of them.

I don't have time to reproduce results, nor should I be expected to do so. I trust the journal to trust the author. It's a chain of trust.

I shouldn't have mentioned snobbiness; people've gotten caught up on the wrong part of the message.
