Sounds like a pretty weak argument? I'm sure there are some good arguments for re-invention. But this ain't one of them.
Basically, re-invention for fun or to help gain understanding is fine. But when you publish a 'new' method, it helps to do a bit of research about prior work. Especially when the method is something you should have heard about during your studies.
