this firm refusal to engage with the reality of scientific/statistical uncertainty underlies so much of what we consider to be the shortcomings of the scientific endeavor. uncertainty is not a bug. it's a feature. it's the reason science exists. it's what fuels progress. it's not the enemy.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

This sounds like the same error I blogged about a few years ago, the common error of trying to control for population (or body size or many etc) by dividing the outcome variable by it. Props to the authors for seeking review and taking the issue seriously. Role models for us all.
