Too bad the article is so long that all my p-value-greedy colleagues from
the medical faculty won't read it.
Journals should apply a post-hoc Bonferroni-correction by the number of
p-values cited in an article.
The main problem is the multitude of p-value not cited. I have little
problems
with scientists publishing all their findings with p-values (or
confidence intervals)
but big problems with people who use them as a filter.
