  Odds Are, It's Wrong

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.
