A journal that reported likelihood ratios would at least be doing better.

A journal that actually cared about science would accept papers before the experiment had been done, with a fixed statistical methodology submitted with the paper in advance rather than data-mining the statistical significance afterward.

Is this meant to suggest that journal editors literally don't care about science that much, or simply that "people are crazy, the world is mad"?
