like albert in his patent office?

I jest, but honestly I am confused abit by your flippant response

Is my request that controversial? The speed of light has been studied for hundreds of years.. asking to see even just romer's data should hardly be an affront on the time of contemporary researchers

Do you think science should be accepted as only solutions without evidence?

I agree, spend your time advancing science but does publishing fall under your description of 'sharing'?

I blame the journal format for the lack of resources I am seeking: it is impractical to publish terabytes of raw data in a journal so why even describe the data beyond your results?

I feel the journals have inadvertently created a system of belief which is antithetical to science

Look at the recent revelations concerning reproducibility

One argument against gatekeeping 'amateurs' is the researchers are busy researching and we require more checks than those researchers have time to do themselves

How would you feel about a closed source project that lacked any documentation and only showed vague benchmarks but promised revolutionary results?
