Is knowledge (new or otherwise) always "understood in the same way"?

Is replication the gold standard or is replication a way around the problem of knowledge where the source code is not available?
Is all knowledge experimental (i.e., does all knowledge take the form of "if x, then y happens" in which case we assume it's true because y keeps happening whenever x)?
In what sense are, say, most law journal articles replicable?
