My thinking is that there should be no alternative to NHSTP that would function as a crutch, that if something else were to arise in an attempt to take the place of NHSTP, it will not be gain as much prominence among researchers. Are there any other scalar statistical numbers in statistics that can function the same as p-values? That is:
1. Can the general public see it as jargon? The general public see p-value, and they think 'oh, those scientists probably know what that really means, just tell me if that number should be big or small to be meaningful'
2. Can a headline be made of it? ( Hypothesis X shown to be 'statistically significant' because a journalist saw the p-value result)
3. If a colleague does not understand it, can you make fun of them for not understanding such a 'simple' concept?
