I generally agree, but their solution (fund boring research, publish only in journals with high standard) is in direct contrast to what they stated earlier. It's basically saying yes, we have bad incentives, but we could ignore them. That's not going to happen; shiny new research will attract people and funding. Especially more than "boring" what we found before was indeed a finding-research.
Now, I don't have a good solution either, unfortunately. What might work is that we require replication work for a PhD or have a certain percentage of a journal dedicated to verification. That, combined with some meta-studies to reward people with citations for replication, might work without fully swimming against the current.

It's a hard problem, really.
