@nntaleb Mr Lakens, please kindly show where my equations were “discovered” in that paper and explain the claim of “re-invented” p-value. @lakens Permalink<\/a> 2:19 AM – 26 Mar 2016<\/p>\n

@nntaleb “An ounce of algebra is worth a ton of verbal argument” is from Haldane, a biologist with brains. @Tayeste88 Permalink<\/a> 2:14 PM – 25 Mar 2016<\/p>\n

@nntaleb An ounce of algebra is worth a ton of verbal argument. Mathematics is not sufficient but necessary to remove the BS. @Tayeste88 Permalink<\/a> 2:01 PM – 25 Mar 2016<\/p>\n
