I probably should have been more clear. I didn't say hypothesis testing, I said NHST (the binary null/alt hypothesis approach) - which is an approach to hypothesis testing particularly prevelant in certain disciplines such as Psychology.
And in that context, there is a lot of agreement that this approach is fundamentally flawed and outdated. if you are interested, I can provide references when I get to the office. But off the top of my head consider Gigerenzer and Cummings.

- begemotz 3y agoYes, those are appropriate (although Gigerenzer and Cummings both have other relevant publications on the topic). As for a undergraduate text that 'teaches the difference', you can look at 'An Introduction to Statistics' by Carlson & Winquist.
