Whether it&#x27;s a feature or not is subjective. And I think I mostly agree with you - it&#x27;s probably bad that we&#x27;re encouraging the application of bad statistics.<p>But the alternative isn&#x27;t just replacing bad with good, it&#x27;d be more like telling ~98% of the science majors in the country, &quot;hey, you&#x27;re too dumb to do real statistics, so please just stop trying&quot;. I can&#x27;t see that realistically happening.
