The tenure trolls are back. Might as well bump this for the newcomers.
As 275c mentioned, Andrew Bird and Stephen Karolyi never released their so-called "replication kit," which makes their claims worthless.
Also, at some point after EJW article, SK+AB posted a response to SSRN where they argued that Young made a coding error and that if you fixed it, you could use his data and programs to replicate the SK+AB results.
EJMR found out that SK+AB's "fix" sorted the obs in the wrong order. Yes, you read that right. They actually forgot that Stata sorts in ascending order by default. Shortly after the EJMR posts were made, SK+AB revised their SSRN response by deleting all of their faulty code and tables.
