AITA, academic publishing edition.

Journal sends a review back to me because when I did not run the code and replicate the results.

My response: "As an unpaid anonymous peer reviewer who handles probably 30 manuscripts a year, I am absolutely not in the position of running and evaluating code any more than I am in the position of running gels to evaluate lab results. If this is important to you, I suspect you can find a consultant who will do it at a reasonable rate."

Am I the asshole?
