Abstract
While P-values are widely abused, they are a useful tool for many purposes; banning them is analogous to banning scalpels because most people do not know how to perform surgery. Many reported P-values are not genuine P-values, for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the most widespread and pernicious problem is the Type III error of testing a statistical hypothesis that has little or no connection to the scientific hypothesis.
