Of course, the key driver of the “announce the result and the validation at the same time” was Ben Lewin at Cell. He would retract your validation paper if someone else announced the result, or even some part of it, somewhere else. Anywhere else – Cell required the whole discovery, body and soul. Since the field accepted this fiat (why did we? Are we stupid?) it has become the norm.
The field therefore needs to escape from the whole “success is a big paper” mentality before your recommendations can be executed. I, like many who love science, will be extremely happy if this happens, but it’s perhaps a little more fundamental than you describe here.
