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...
