It’s your ego - you can’t bear to be questioned and any suggestion that you might be wrong or that you’re going about things arse upwards is anathema to you.
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?
