We share all the results from our research, so people may inspect them in detail. We also share our methods in enough detail that if somebody was sufficiently motivated, they could reproduce the work by spending time and money
however, If you follow your logic, you would prevent CERN from publishing the discovery of the Higgs Boson, because nobody else has a particle accelerator powerful enough to detect them. You would prevent the LIGO people from publishing because nobody else has a multi-mile-long interferometer that can detect gravity waves. There are many unique resources that would be prevented from publishing under your idea.
Contrary to what most non-scientists claim about science, reproducibility is not a requirement for discovery science. What is import is scrutiny- ensuring that when people discover something using a unique resource, other people can inspect the methods and the data and decide whether to believe the results.
Though I agree for the most part, isn't CERN using multiple teams on multiple detectors, even going so far as having multiple implementations of data analyses and such, just to make sure any result they find is never a product of one person or team making a mistake in their process?
CERN has multiple detectors (CMS and ATLAS are the two best-known) but they serve different purposes and are attached to the same system (LHC). Exacycle also did something similar (we ran multiple different protein folding codes on the same infrastructure).
You're addressing another issue: they built replicability into their scientific method (which is awesome) but it's still within a single logical entity (which happens to be distributed throughout the world).
LIGO went one better and injected fake events to make sure their analysis systems were working.
