Still, the main post feels to me like a sales pitch...

It's a fair point; I'm not exactly attacking the strongest representative of frequentist statistical practice. My only defense is that this actually happened, so it makes a good case study.

That's true, and having been reminded of that, I think I may have been unduly pedantic about a fine detail at the expense of the main point.
