In science the point of someone saying they conducted an experiment in a certain way is so you can also perform said experiment and reproduce their evidence. If you choose to or not is a different story.

I don't think I'd be able to believe more than maybe 0.0001% of true scientific claims if I had to use an epistemological system where I only believe results I've personally replicated. Am I supposed to build my own version of the large hadron collider in order to believe in modern particle physics?
