[23:17:14] <exec> 08└─From page 15 of the preprint: We have two key recommendations. First, we recommend that the label “statistically significant” should no longer be used. Instead, researchers should provide more meaningful interpretations of the theoretical or practical relevance of their results. Second, authors...

[23:18:09] <exec> 08└─There's actually some professionally delivered "pain therapy" that more or less trains the victims to "man up" and work through the pain. Lots of people have extreme pain that doesn't really indicate a problem, it's just defective pain messaging, and if they learn to ignore it they can get on with t...
