Avoiding "it's JUST a replication"

This position paper explores my experiences getting replication studies accepted at the CHI conference over the past 30 years. These experiences lead to my hypothesis that CHI reviewers and program committee members at all levels need education and technology support to understand and appropriately consider replication studies for publication at CHI. I propose a draconian "zeroth iteration" on a design for extensions to the Precision Conference System to spur discussion about how we can design our values into our processes.
