Eh, "data available upon request" - fuck you, just add a table in the extra materials part. Also applies to any code written for a project.

I am doing a data analysis that has been described in another paper. Somewhat complex equations, but I managed to put them into code. Except when I use my code to reproduce figures from the paper two of five equations are off by a factor of kT/E_phonon (empirically determined by me, it's just a value that makes my plots correspond with theirs). I have absolutely no effing clue where that discrepancy is coming from. They clearly wrote code for their paper but it's not online and while I did have a pleasant correspondence with the author, they (understandably) do not have time to go digging for 10 year old code.
