> Do you know what p hacking is?
Yes, I work in statistics. P-hacking can be detected and should be exposed during proper peer review and by providing underlying data and methods for reproducibility. It would be nonsensical to throw out the entire scientific process and discredit all statistical studies because p-hacking can be done.
> Why not 6? Or 8? Or 2? 1?
Sure, let's try them all. But maybe not 8, because unless you're the Beatles that isn't going to happen.
> 4 day work weeks for any on call industry would be absurd.
Shifts exist for this reason. Nobody is on call 24/7.
> Why isn't there clear evidence in the business themselves?
The study itself showed the business benefits themselves are small. Probably smaller than time variability within a business or across many businesses. The point of the study was not to show business improved but to show that the business outcomes remain similar while employee satisfaction improved. Why wouldn't you want to live in a society where people are happier and business continues as usual?
