> I find this whole backlash against p-values pretty confusing. Plenty of research (not in particle physics) uses the cut-off of 0.05 instead, misunderstands the p-value as "probability that the result is not real", and also ignores the fact that a p-value of 0.05 can too often be reached by making a variety of choices in experimental setup and data analysis. When the headline calls it a "Tool to Sift Research Fudge from Fact", NHST wasn't doing this job well at all, and wasn't really designed for this job in the first place. There are far, far too many people who seem to think that p<0.05 means something is a "research fact", which is a failure of statistics education as well.
