"The logical incoherence of modern statistical practice"
Abstract:
As practiced by most scientists, statistics is first and foremost a religion with mathematical trappings that function to scare the intuitive, the rebellious, and the heretical into submission. What is done and taught with respect to particular statistical issues shows little consistency from one nation to another, one university to another, one textbook to another, one discipline to another, one editor to another. Where there is some consistency, the majority is wrong.
