points were contributed! I have published a blog post on why I cringe when I hear that first statement.
Here is a second scenario and statement that makes me cringe:
A company experienced a problem with yield on a production line. The working hypothesis was that it was related to a difference in subassemblies received from two different suppliers. An engineer is asked to do a t-test, from which the p-value comes back as 0.001. The manager immediately says "That is more than 95% significant! Go figure out why they are different. We have to get these two suppliers to be providing the same parts!"
What is wrong with the manager's thinking?
