I'm in -- except I wouldn't want everybody doing these tests to prove something that has already been proved.
That's where the "Cite it" part of "Cite it or prove it" comes in. And, like I said, one has to make sure that what they're citing is actually correct.
As a bit of a sidebar, though, someone attempting a re-proof may actually come up with a better method. That's one of the very strong benefits of the Scientific Method.
