Is there a section on "How To Not Fool Yourself That You're Measuring X When You're Actually Measuring Z"?
Not a dedicated section; this advice is scattered throughout the book. E.g. there's a section (p. 174-176) explaining why p-value hypothesis testing doesn't measure what the reader might think it measures (and thus Hubbard doesn't use p-value hypothesis testing).
