But my paper with math showing that the p-value is somewhere between 1/300 and 1/17 is still better than the vast majority of papers about Croatian names of places, which do not even attempt to calculate the p-value, right?
I don’t think you truly grasp what p-values mean. You seem to be mistaking statistical significance for scientific significance. It looks as though you’re trying to apply p-values to your hypothesis about Croatian place names. That’s not what p-values are intended to test.
