A great scientist once said, that the scientific method also includes stating, why what one "found out" could be wrong, and that one might need to retry experiments, whose results one relies upon. I think it was in "Cargo Cult Science" by Feynman.

In a way what they are doing, only publishing positive results is no longer good science.
