        @sapinker It isn't so much NHST that's problem as fetishization of P=0.05, an absurdly 'generous' value

        @sanderwagner a bit ad hoc the whole thing: A would give tau=5, B tau=12, C tau=20. D,E,F don't make sense. We measured 11+/-2 so B

        @sapinker - Hopefully the beginning of the end for abuses and biases of NHST as often reported. Let's see all the data.

        @sapinker So is the jist that estimated ranges (CIs) are safer than dichotomous significance tests?
