The results and the conclusion taken from those results should have been exposed during peer-review. Peer reviews are meant to anaylse the veracity of the source data. Once a paper has passed peer-review, it is widely acknowledged to be reliable, with no further investigation necessary.
Fred: No, no, no, no, I'm not a student. But I am a major science enthusiast. I've been trying to get Honey to develop a formula that could turn me into a fire-breathing lizard at will. But she says that's "not science".
Honey: I-It's really not.
Fred: Yeah, and I guess the shrink ray I asked Wasabi for isn't "science" either, is it?
Wasabi: Nope.
Fred: Well then, what about... invisible sandwich? Imagine eating a sandwich, but everybody just thinks you're crazy.
Wasabi: Just stop.
