I would offer that in *some* groups the running code bar is reasonable.

I would have little objection to requiring running code as a test of
feasibility of a new idea.  I would object strongly to an argument that
just because someone has running code, means it's a good indication of
adequacy of the protocol.

Specific examples aside, I agree. Running code should be a necessary condition for something to progress, but not a sufficient one.
