Then you publish your work and critics publish theirs and the community decides which claims have proven their merit. This is the fundamental structure of the scientific community.

How is "your code has error and I rebuke you" a more painful critique than "you are hiding your methodology and so I rebuke you"?

Nothing limits the field of critics to people who have written their own code and know what they are doing.
