Here’s the Shalizi link: The Neutral Model of Inquiry. Good stuff, I remember enjoying it a lot. Choice quote: ”...the first published p-value for any phenomenon is uniformly distributed between 0 and 0.05.”
Thank you very much!
I love that he called it “The Neutral Model”.
(To the OP: I think it’s a reference to Motoo Kimura’s theory that at the molecular level, most evolutionary change is neutral rather than adaptive.)
