> with all the necessary information, so that others can replicate it

There's no requirement that the information in the patent be via beyond replicating the patent.

If the patent can be reproduced via alternate means that are cheaper or faster, those need not be disclosed. In fact the point of a patent is to protect the patent holder from someone finding a cheaper or faster means of reproducing it.
