Abstract: | Comments on the J. Krueger (see record 2001-16601-002) discussion on null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). The current author states that Krueger carelessly included a dubious claim that weakened at least some of his contentions: that the widespread use of NHST represents a ubiquitous ignorance of its logical pitfalls. Contrary to Krueger's claims, the current author believes that within a larger causal framework, the null hypothesis remains the best theory available.
