Thanks for all of the comments and corrections! Based on your feedback, I have concluded that the article is a little bit too advanced (and possibly too narrow in focus) to be posted in the main section of the site. However, it is clear that there is a lot of interest in the general subject. Therefore, rather than posting this article to main, I think it would be more productive to write a “Philosophy of Statistics” sequence which would provide the necessary background for this kind of post.

I enjoyed your article, and learned things from you. I want to encourage you to post more on stats subjects here.
