4.3.6 Project analysis - configure files
Length reduction by about 15 words. A semantically significant change is from `leading to more robust scientific results` to `evolves in the case of exploratory research papers, and better self-consistency in hypothesis testing papers`. I said this in a previous commit, but it can't hurt repeating: In the covidian epoch (though not only), it is especially important to distinguish bayesian type exploratory research (typical in astronomy or searching for a good COVID-19 treatment or vaccine) from hypothesis testing (clinical testing in double-blind random access trials with clinical trials methods published on a public registry prior to the trials taking place). In the latter case, you want your results to be analysed consistently with the plan published before the trials even begin, and ideally you want them to be published (or at least posted on the trial registry website) even if your results are insignificant, to avoid a publication bias in favour of significant results. Test homeopathy against placebos in 1000 independent experiments, analyse them all the same way, and 2-3 experiments will be significant at the 3 sigma level...
