I think we can agree that the p-value discussion has merit but broadening our focus to include how p-values are used with other values may help even more. For instance, below is the use of p-values in combination with FST values. Can our list mathematicians help us understand how a combination of statistical calculations helps raise the confidence level of the overall analyses? It would help if when reading the study one could look at the sentence below and say "OK I get it".
> We permuted 1000 iterations to calculate the p-values for the mean and pairwise FST values. FST varies from 0 (lack of genetic structure and no sign of population subdivision) to 1 (distinct population structure or extreme segregation), with FST of up to 0.05 indicating a moderate genetic differentiation [64].
