Quote:isn't a paper that doesn't even attempt to calculate a p-value way more alarming in that regard than a paper that has a weak p-value?
I don't see the point you are making. Are you against calculating p-values in the study of Croatian toponyms? Do you think there can be a science without statistics?
If you think there can be a science without statistics, look at the history of medicine. Medicine was basically worse than useless before the advent of statistics in medicine. Physicians were wrong on just about everything, and were probably killing more people than they saved.
