In grad school I noticed a printed message on the wall of our research lab. It was something like "distill information from the hint of implication" (bad memory).

I innocently said to an older grad student, "Yeah, that does sound like a way to commit Type-I errors" or something equivalent.

Well, that's not what the older grad student took from the sign and I got a very cold, slightly huffy response.

@lakens Your discussion of #pvalues is really a bit odd. "Just calculate a number that has no real interpretation, and then interpret it cautiously."* That's bogus.

Importantly, you missed the opportunity to making the point that, relatively, your p-values do have an interpretation: If you order your effects by p-value from low to high, the top of this list contains better candidates for a future study than the bottom.

"In real life, we weigh the anticipated consequences of the decisions that we are about to make. That approach is much more rational than limiting the percentage of making the error of one kind in an artificial (null hypothesis) setting or using a measure of evidence for each model as the weight."

Jacob Cohen: we, as teachers, consultants, authors, and otherwise perpetrators of quantitative methods, are responsible for the ritualization of null hypothesis significance testing,,, to the point of meaninglessness and beyond.
