The statistics also remains important at the frontier of high energy physics. Trying to do reasoning about what models are likely to replace the Standard Model is plagued by every issue in the philosophy of statistics that you can imagine. And the arguments about this affect where billions of dollars worth of research funding end up (build bigger colliders? more dark matter detectors? satellites?)

Sure; if we had enough data to conclusively answer a question it would no longer be at the frontier. :-)
(I disagree with several of the claims in the linked post, but that’s another story.)
