    An analysis of how modern testing has fixed on statistical significance as the benchmark of significance, often to the detriment of the relevant significance.

  20. Let's Just Pretend
    We Didn’t Offshore Manufacturing?

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2014
    Is an iPhone made in China and exported to Europe a U.S. export? Is an Apple executive a manufacturing worker? Yes, and yes. At least those could become the answers if a new proposal afoot among some in the administration is allowed to take effect. Federal agencies grouped under the bland-sounding Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) are proposing to radically redefine U.S. manufacturing and trade statistics. The proposal would deceptively deflate the size of reported, but not actual, U.S. manufacturing trade deficits, while artificially inflating the number of U.S. manufacturing jobs overnight.
  21. Lies, damned lies, and energy statistics - why nuclear is so much less than it claims to be
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2015
    It's odd how often the contribution of nuclear energy is overstated by mixing up 'energy' and 'electricity', while a similar trick understates the importance of renewables like wind and solar. Even odder is how the mistake always seems to go the same way, to make nuclear look bigger than it really is, and renewables smaller. Welcome to the nuclear 'X factor'!
