Karen Kafadar, the ASA president, would like the ASA to clearly distinguish itself from the ruling recommended by its Executive Director. She says he was only wearing his "author" hat when he declared he was adding a rule to the ASA 2016 guide. That rule is: never use the word "significance", and never use any P-value thresholds (e.g., .05, .005) in interpreting data. The ASA has so far not make this qualification and the lawyers are having a heyday.Is she right?
