You know what's also a straw man? Not assuming good faith in a discussion and obtusely attacking something that isn't actually being done. You've been corrected two times now that the statistical testing methods you've been attacking are in fact not how the experiments are being done and that the choice of null hypothesis that you've been attacking is not at all the null hypothesis that is being tested against. I know you're feeling very right and vindictive but damn if this isn't tiring to read. Make sure you know what you're right about first before assuming the other thing is wrong just because it matches a few keywords that you've read are bad. Because assuming good faith means that you allow for the possibility they might not be doing it wrong. You still get to make your point but it saves your face a lot. I'd suggest, go outside, attack a windmill for a few hours, think about what you're actually trying to say, and if it's not "hey I read this article on lesswrong and it says everybody is doin it wrong", you'll probably find you can make your point much clearer. You seem to have more than sufficient knowledge about statistics to think for yourself on this matter.
