The only way IMHO the umbrella metaphor has any value here is if you also include the fact the "umbrella" is causing a high incidence of injuries to other people while also keeping the user dry.

To wit, something that might work well for one person might not for others. We live in a world where things we do to improve our side of things has to be balanced against how it affects others.

Sure. But if you present a p-value it only has meaning in a confirmatory setting. Exploratory research introduces a multiple comparisons problem with the number of comparisons unknown. And I believe there are problems for Bayesians too.

I don't really do that kind of research, so I can't really comment on it in neither good faith nor with the required practical experience. I don't run analyses with p-values nor with Bayes factors, for example.

While I have opinions (of course), I also don't think it's my place to tell you how do your science. I am not a big fan of prescriptivism — in most cases, I think it's misplaced. And I don't think science is a monolith.

I know you haven't said this here yourself, but I wanted to super clarify where I am coming from. I think it's a tricky situation where there is a culture clash on quite a few different levels.

I'm both a comp modeller (who doesn't care — on some level — what stats people do) and I do not believe in telling people how to do their science generally (so I don't think it's useful to dictate in a very rigidi way to others how to do stuff).

I'm way more interested in stopping the prescriptivist culture, than I am in p-values or BFs. I feel like people telling others how to do research that the former don't even do, and are not experts in, is a strange and perhaps slippery slope.

I believe lots of OR people would agree, but prescriptivism is a fact with the golden rule of p<0.05 = good, & given that a transition to a well functioning non prescriptive culture seems far away (if possible), better prescriptions may be just what is needed for the present

Of course I agree with not shoving those down people's throats, but I believe there is value in changing the default prescription most people follow blindly. My 1 cent

Fair enough. I just don't use p-values in my research though. So any fixes you come up for people who use p-values should probably not apply to my work since I never did "the bad thing".
