Success or failure to replicate is not a criterion for acceptance or rejection

It is written in the FAQ but we do not mention it in the article as mentioned by @benoit-girard in #8:
I am a bit puzzled by the fact that the "The ReScience Initiative" section states that a submission is accepted if reviewers "consider these results sufficiently close to the ones reported in the original paper being replicated.", leaving no explicit room for papers reporting replication failure, which is however presented as acceptable outcome by Fig. 1 "Success or failure to replicate is not a criterion for acceptance or rejection.
This should be corrected.
I just corrected the manuscript.
