For something scientifically validated on how people handle relationships
Tangential and nit-picky but this claim bothers me, because I’m guessing when you say “scientifically validated” you mean that somebody did a frequentist analysis of a survey with N=245 and showed P<.05. To an LW reader, it may be obvious that there is a vast chasm between this kind of scientific evidence and the kind that justifies the laws of physics, but the distinction might be lost on the less savvy. Perhaps we should introduce a set of words capable of expressing the difference.

“The Cult of Statistical Significance” suggests that we’re looking for tests that display power rather than significance.
