As the first author on the salmon paper, yes, that was exactly our point. Researchers were capitalizing on chance in many cases as they failed to do effective corrections to the multiple comparisons problem. We argued with the dead fish that they should.

Nothing to add to this conversation in particular, but just wanted to say - truly amazing paper. Well done!

Many thanks! It was a ton of fun. Hard to beleive that we are coming up on 20 years since the data for the salmon was first collected...

Yeah, it did prove to be a rather one-sided conversation... ;)
