I’m slightly tempted to, because that article is sloppy and unfocused enough that it annoys me, even though it’s broadly accurate. (I mean, ‘the standard statistical system for drawing conclusions is, in essence, illogical’? Really?) But I don’t know what I’d have to add to it, really, other than basically whining ‘it is so unfair!’
Yeah, that would be great, but I can’t do it; I don’t have the technical background, so I hereby delegate the task to someone else willing to write it up.

I would like to see a top-level link post and discussion of this article (and maybe other related papers).
