This just advocates for a system that more accurately captures uncertainty in the models. Which, would technically make the results replicable but reduce their impact. At least in the short term. Impact in the long term is harder to determine.
Though, I really think A LOT of fields need to be far more honest about their levels of uncertainty and any ones that aren't (especially empirically based ones) are bordering snake oil territory.
