    I once experienced this firsthand. The postdoc kept coming by, trying to find out how we were messing up something he had written a paper on. Eventually, he tried to reproduce it himself. No one could reproduce it, not even him.

        Oh, I don’t pretend to have read every single one. But it’s odd how regularly there is a topic of conversation with a relevant xkcd panel.

    Or failed replications replicated successfully (could be useful, but was originally marked as failed to replicate)
