And furthermore, I might be willing to die on the same hill as these fellas...

John Hoenig and Dennis Heisey: "We feel that researchers often do not need a rigorous understanding of confidence intervals to use them to good advantage. Although we cannot demonstrate it formally, we suspect that imperfectly understood confidence intervals are more useful and less dangerous than imperfectly understood p values and hypothesis tests. For example, it is surely prevalent that researchers interpret confidence intervals as if they were Bayesian credibility regions; to what extent does this lead to serious practical problems? .... If informally motivated confidence intervals lead to better science than rigorously motivated hypothesis testing, then perhaps the rigor normally presented to students destined to be applied researchers can be sacrificed."
