We actually show in the model that because our best estimates of statistical power are fairly low, even if literally 100% of our hypotheses are in fact correct we still must have extreme selection against nulls

Finished teaching my new Advance Stats for Psych graduate course today with a heavy emphasis on both DAGs and shifting away from coefficient interpretation and towards models as prediction machines. Both went great! The latter was extremely helpful for logistic regression (for obvious reasons 😵💫)!
