Abstract
If the NHSTP procedure is essential for controlling for
chance, why is there little, if any, discussion of the nature of
chance by Chow and other advocates of the procedure. Also,
many criticisms that Chow takes to be aimed against the NHSTP
(null-hypothesis significance-test) procedure are actually directed
against the kind of theory that is tested by the procedure.
