Aug 20 at 10:28 comment added user272752 [2/2] If it's shown that the code reviewer could write the entire program so much better than the OP, then the OP should likely begin to consider another line of work...
Aug 20 at 10:24 comment added user272752 @Reinderien Fully agree that a conscientious academic reviewer may replicate procedures to verify results. Should all go well, this dimension of the review will be little more than a "thumbs-up". If not, the returned review is NOT a paper of its own right. Should the reviewer have a new insight from reviewing another's paper, the reviewer will write their own paper with the intent of contributing something NEW to the field; not a rehash of the paper they reviewed... OTOH, "code review" usually only points to - perhaps illustrates - superior techniques or resources.
