Here's a đź§µ connecting a number of Mark Rubin's contributions on p-hacking and statistical inference as connected to one's philosophy of science.

Under differing regimes, p-hacking and preregistration can have large or small or no consequence for scientific inferences.

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

A worthwhile review of a less-than-credible statistic to “detect” biased reporting of results.

There’s no shortcuts for these difficult analyses.

More Feyerabend, being sensibly anarchic about the unproven “rules of good science” being forced upon us.

I’ve been reading Jeremy Bentham on the Panopticon—the circular prison where authorities can see what all the prisoners are doing (the prisoners cannot tell when they’re being monitored).

The point of openness is —> surveillance, a hallmark of distrust. It is **designed** to be demotivating.

Paul Feyerabend, Against Method.

Prescriptions about how science MUST be done? Simply a bad, authoritarian idea. And based on the history of science, not good for scientific progress.
