The first one is not a test of replicability. It is a test of generalization. It is important to stop conflating these.
Just had a meeting yesterday with a team (2 labs) where team 1 tried to first replicate findings of team 2 but used different systems and couldn't do it. Then they used the same system and replicated the original finding beautifully. But now we're curious about why the other systems are different
