All P-values Are Uninterpretable: The Case for Abandoning Significance Testing

Rejected
A Author Re: Major revision required
We thank the reviewer for the detailed feedback. We have moderated the claims throughout and added a section engaging with Mayo's error-statistics framework. We maintain, however, that the philosophical case against NHST as the sole inferential tool is well-founded.
E Editor Decision after re-review
Dear Dr. Liu, Thank you for your revised manuscript. After re-review, we regret that the fundamental framing issue raised by our reviewer has not been adequately resolved. The manuscript continues to overstate the universality of its claims in ways that are not supported by the philosophical literature it now cites. We cannot accept the manuscript for publication. We recognise the topic is important and hope you will find a suitable venue for a more carefully scoped version of the argument. Best regards, The Editors
