While replication of research is important, one must be sure to use a diverse selection of subjects to compensate for any discrepancies caused by subject idiosyncrasies.
One may argue that a follow-up study may be warranted for any specific individual subject, yet without that additional, supplementary testing on diverse subjects, the follow-up study might present the appearance of some sort of emotional attachment.
I do apologize for the tone of my rebuke.
Perhaps it would be best to remind us all that to try to compare species as "superior" or "inferior" is illogical.
