Well, if p-values turned out to be so useful in natural sciences, as well as some other parts of linguistics (If I am not mistaken, the Mate Kapović'es PhD thesis was about applying p-values to historical phonology, showing that some supposed law of historical phonology doesn't predict the accents any better than chance.), doesn't that suggest we should at least try to apply them to the names of places?
