I guess I hate the idea of a &quot;statistical philosophy.&quot; It&#x27;s math for god&#x27;s sake. Given these axioms, these other things are true.<p>The point about teaching relativistic versus newtonian mechanics is totally different because they&#x27;re incompatible. One is more correct than the other, which is not the case here. In the stats case, both tools give correct answers to different questions.<p>Maybe I just get frustrated feeling like people want a data analysis silver bullet to teach.
