I don’t think that there’s any examination using a statistical test that uses a virtual sample that can’t be done as well or better with another statistical test. The whole point of Fisher’s is that you have four samples from an unknown distribution. If you pretend that there is a distribution that is unknown under the null that is in fact known under the null, you are throwing information away.
