[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t wait until you have to explain to a judge with zero STEM background what a p-value is, or what Bayesian statics are used for.  Imagine a judge with zero medical or scientific background trying to make a decision on a drug that will cost the country $100B and them trying to understand the nuances of the statistics for a double blinded, placebo controlled trial with appropriate power of analysis, design to reduce type 1 or 2 errors, and being able to evaluate whether or not a company is trying to p hack their way to an approval.

Lawyers have insane amounts of hubris.  They need to realize they don’t know everything. [/quote]

I'm astonished at the shortsightedness of the business community on this.  Obviously this is going to make it easier to go after environmental and safety regulations they don't like.  But it's also going to create massive instability on loads of other issues, like patents, drug approvals, issuance of securities, Medicare reimbursement rates, auto standards, etc.  What's Merck going to think when some district judge in WDTex decides that the FDA approval on their new blockbuster drug was unlawful?  We already saw a preview of this with the abortion pill, but if they don't realize this is going to open up the floodgates, then they are very very naive.    [/quote]

Here's one where SCOTUS should maybe look to Gorsuch's mom, when she ran EPA in the Reagan administration.  She implemented a big push for environmental deregulation and it was a complete disaster.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/02/01/neil-gorsuchs-mother-once-ran-the-epa-it-was-a-disaster/[/quote]
