allegedly, a researcher in bayesian stats (toolmaker is probably more accurate) lunafazio.github.io
Interesting take! Feels intuitively correct, but I think it's something that probably could be tested empirically.

So...my undergrad thesis student is doing a quality analysis of studies found in meta-analyses. She identified a few and we contacted the authors to request their effect sizes and other variables for the studies in their papers. Here's what happened:

Very cool (from Ehm-Gneiting-Jordan-Krüger, JRSSB 2016): for mean estimation, all consistent scoring rules can be obtained as conic combinations of 'extremal' consistent scoring rules, with an explicit structure. Similar results hold for quantiles (and perhaps other tasks as well!).

We wrote an article explaining why you shouldn't put several variables into a regression model and report which are statistically significant - even as exploratory research.

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder. Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined
