This blog post is extremely misleading -- it appears to confuse the "null hypothesis" with an actual scientific hypothesis that is being tested. For example:
"However, there are many cases where I am testing bold, risky hypotheses—that is, hypotheses that are unlikely to be true."
Those may be the hypotheses being tested, but they are not NULL hypotheses. NHST is not about testing the NULL hypothesis, it is about testing a non-Null hypothesis (the null hypothesis should always be incredibly boring and expected). There may be problems, but this blog post does not describe one.
