It's more that it's a category error. Replication has a context for where it's important, e.g. a treatment and cause & effect relationship. It doesn't If you say "we did this to people and it caused them to respond this way X% of the time," that's something that needs to replicate for us to know if we should take it seriously. If you look at a bunch of separate data sources and find out that a bunch of them show that a certain thing verifiably exists, that doesn't need to replicate to be taken seriously. The data should be checked to make sure the thing actually does exist, but that's verification.
So most findings in research psychology definitely need replication. But the idea that the existence of something is verifiably found across a bunch of different datasets doesn't need a new set of experiments to show -- you just check the data.
