Dear Fil,
This is a bit tricky. While I agree that the people involved should be skilled in research, in some cases, the research also requires that they are active in design practice, or -- for other problems -- that they understand design.
An experiment involving research and reporting on a new procedure for anesthesiology would need researchers who work in the field of medicine and generally in some area of surgery. By and large, replication of an experiment involving a new technique in anesthesiology would exclude excellent researchers from physics or chemistry. In much the same way, you wouldn't ask an anesthesiologist to replicate the LIGO studies that demonstrate the reality of the gravitation waves that Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted a century ago, confirmed only this year.
Thanks, Fil, Francois, and Mike for these good posts.
Yours,
Ken
