It’s not your critics that have a skewed view of science. The problem is a lot closer to home.

Whether or not my theory is right, "Fuck the p-values." is an absurd argument. If my theory is wrong, that's because somebody has found (or will find) a model of language more appropriate for this than simple collision entropy measurements and birthday calculations, and that model suggests that this k-r pattern in Croatian river names is not actually statistically significant.

See?
