“Statisticism refers to an overemphasis on abstract statistical principles at the expense of context-specific nuance and caveats (e.g., Boring, 1919; Brower, 1949; Proulx & Morey, 2021). Statisticism may help to explain the unthinking statistical ritualism that has been noted by some commentators (Gigerenzer, 2004, 2018; Proulx & Morey, 2021).” #statistics #stats #MultipleTesting #Statisticism

Statistical Significance:

“The finding of statistical significance is perhaps the least important attribute of a good experiment; it is never a sufficient condition for concluding that a theory has been corroborated, that a useful empirical fact has been established with reasonable confidence—or that an experimental report ought to be published.”

David Lykken (1968): https://doi.org/10.1037/h0026141
