*Events* do not need to be replicated to value replication. Replication for historical events (e.g., paleontology, earthquake science, big bang) is about replicating methods providing evidence for claims.
Even the methods are sometimes non-replicable, as when the analysis consumes samples (as in much field work).

Yes, and related challenges can emerge when history matters--eg., an national intervention for economic policy. "Replication" may be limited to assessing reproducibility of the gathered data, and conceptual analogue studies of evaluating the claims.

I've worried a bit about the Higgs and similar discoveries for related reasons. Although "replicated" in some limited sense, there is of course a central point of failure - one accelerator, & I believe two detectors now.

Of course, I agree that this situation is problematic, especially when not only the events but also the methods are non-replicable. But I'm very reluctant to declare it not fair game as part of science.
