Its one example. One test. People were amused and not remotely surprised because of all the rest.

It's not a great test if they don't focus on one single hypothesis, right? I'm not a scientist, but doesn't that damage their conclusion?

It does what it does. You can certainly think a different approach better & do that. I'd be interested to see the results. Why would it?

Is your point that the hoax just reinforced what people already thought? Because that's sort of my point.

That tends to happen when things are true. Do you find hypothesis testing a problem?

No, I was just trying to clarify your point about how it didn't change any minds about PoMo.
