Seems like a really good case study in how complex engineering technologies become unknowable overtime and this leads to a collapse as understanding of the core product declines.

and on the other side of this, adding an hour or two will not solve the problem if kids then stay up an additional hour or two on their apps, which will certainly happen. People are being incredibly dishonest with themselves on this issue.

I fail to understand why the terminology matters. If you need to make a decision then there will be a threshold in the probability that will determine it. It doesn’t matter if you call it p values or anything else.

What is a “prior” in the context of hypothesis testing? That seems to me to be a concept used in parameter estimation, with Bayes rule. But hypothesis testing is not parameter estimation.

But I don't see p-values as connected to frequentist statistics. Rather, p-values are a concept that applies to the problem of hypothesis testing, which both frequentist and bayesian statistics should apply to, right? And in both cas

I've never heard anyone promote frequentist statistics. I've only ever heard Bayesians on the 'offense' talking about why their framework is better. To be clear I am someone who doesn't really understand the faultli
