I mean, it was a "modest proposal" type of suggestion.
There are a lot of researchers who have a limited knowledge of statistics and who basically treat the p-value as a magic number.
I don't have any sort of philosophical problem with p-values or the tools of hypothesis testing, but I think it would be good for science if the magic number were less salient, if that makes sense.
