To allow researchers to claim ownership of results without revealing the method, data, or uncertainties.
To allow others to check the reasoning and evaluate the method, data, and uncertainties.
To persuade others that the final conclusion is correct, regardless of limitations in the evidence.
To ensure that published findings are accepted as facts without requiring further investigation or replication.
