p-values that are not in the physics ranges are ridiculous. It's a shame everyone started copying physics but decided for higher acceptance/rejection values.

p-values that are not in the physics ranges are ridiculous. It's a shame everyone started copying physics but decided for higher acceptance/rejection values. I was a little bit disappointed when I realized that a bunch of valid modern science is just proper experiment design and number crunching. If it's not physics, there's no models of why things work, there's just a p-value on the correlation or some other comparison function. Medicine has turned into a field where you can't know a thing. http://www.cochrane.org/CD005427/BACK_combined-chiropractic-interventions-for-low-back-pain http://www.cochrane.org/CD005427/BACK_combined-chiropractic-... I love reading reports like the above: > There is currently no evidence that supports or refutes that these interventions(chiropractic intervention) provide a clinically meaningful difference for pain or disability in people with [lower back pain] when compared to other interventions. p-values really do not help that much.
