Let us know if you find a discrepancy. Some bugs can be discovered by reading code, but many slip through this test. We cannot assume that code which looks okay is bug-free.
Papers should be written to be readable, and therefore people rarely choose to clutter papers with numerical details which they hope and believe are scientifically irrelevant.
Reproducibility requires that all details are fully described. For most readers, most of the time, presenting all the technical details may serve a negative purpose of obscuring the main points of the paper.
Rnw and Rmd file formats (for R) and Jupyter notebooks (for python and R) are popular methods for reproducible computing.
