    As they say, a bad workman always blames his tools.

    If the researchers are inappropriately generalising effects based on p values, the problem is the researcher, not the statistical tool.

    Just read Halsey bio. He uses acceleration loggers to record behaviour and energetics in animals. Are these what we need to record daily data?
