A perfectly reasonable alternative, which is not really any more mathematically difficult nor harder to implement in software, is outlined in several sections of the Kruschke paper that I linked.<p>In general though, I would dispute a lot of your claims about what industry statisticians (or &quot;data scientists&quot; if you want to use a buzzword) need to do. One of the primary jobs of industry statisticians, it would seem, should be to <i>slow everyone down</i> on purpose, because everyone is in such a rush to get &quot;insight&quot; and &quot;actionable information&quot; and to get some sweet data viz of some KPIs that they are doing horribly shoddy statistics, and mutating the craft of statistics overall into some kind of shoddy data journalism &#x2F; data story telling circus where the careful avoidance of statistical pitfalls doesn&#x27;t seem to matter to anyone.
