Sorry, but statistical significance has a pretty narrow meaning, and it's wrong.
> Removing "statistical significance" from the vocabulary doesn't change the underlying reality about people deciding what to do based on a threshold of a number.
I'm not arguing to remove it from the vocabulary. I'm arguing that that bloomin' threshold is the source of many problems.
The article also isn't about methodology, it's about the secondary school curriculum. To provide pupils with a false understanding of statistics is just bad. And to teach them why it's bad, is hard.
