This provides an excellent way for readers to infer the competence of the experimenter.
What surprises me is that the abstract doesn’t mention the number of papers done incorrectly for which having a statistically significant result depended on making the error. This would give us some information about how much of this is due to fraud. If all of the incorrect papers depended on misinterpretation to have publishable p values, that would be very disturbing.
