One. Doing experiments is yet enough difficult and painful.
Two. This drain of resources can't be done for free. Somebody will need to pay twice for half of the research [1], and faster. Peers will need to be hired and paid, maybe by the writer's grants. Researchers cant justify to give their own funds to other teams without a profound change in regulation and even in that case would be harming their own projects.
[1] as the valuable experts are now stuck validating things instead doing their own job
Would open also a door for foul play. Blocking competitors teams in molasses just trowing them secondary silly problems that they know that are a dead end, while the other team work in the real deal, and take the advantage to win the patent.
