You've mangled my sentence in your quote. The rest matters. It may not be a masterpiece of the English language, but I already said the first is not directly possible and I wrote the second as a description of p-values quite on purpose.
"Virtually all journals require rigorous reporting of p values along with averages, and the justification of the statistical test used."
That's begging the question. The entire topic of conversation is whether or not the standards of justification are adequate.
- buboard 7y agoah yes i agree with those. As you said, the selection of hypothesis is the actual problem, and statistical power doesnt solve that one either. There are some scientists thinking over this though. This is an idea from a neuroscience lab: https://www.researchmaps.org/ https://www.researchmaps.org/ The idea was to create causal directed graphs for biology from the literature , which would be used identify what experiments are missing and thus inform future science.
