Class 62: Die P-value! Die! Die! Die!

Never use or trust a P-value. Every use is fallacious. Do not use them. Calculate the probability of what you want to know instead!

P-values cannot tell cause, yet all who use them claim their correlation becomes causation when the P is wee. Do not use P-values.
