Little Johnny raises hand
Teacher "What Johnny"
Johnny "I need to go to the bathroom"
Teacher "Not now"
10 minutes later Johnny raises hand again
Teacher "What Johnny"
Johnny "I need to go to the bathroom real bad!"
Teacher "Not now I said"
10 more minutes later Johnny raises hand again
Teacher, exasperated, "What now Johnny"
Johnny "I gotta go to the bathroom real, real bad"
Teacher "Okay, but first you have to recite the alphabet"
Johnny "a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, and z"
Teacher "You forgot 'P'. What happened to 'P' Johnny"
Johnny "It's running down my leg"

The null hypothesis becomes clearer when you get older.
It's not the size of the P-ness that matters, it's how you use it.
No one can explain the P-ness. Why it goes up, why it goes down.
I think that we understand the "Shrinkage Theorem" fairly well, now.
Same with open tuning and slightly flattening the major 3rd.
"Try to distill the p-value down to an intuitive concept and it loses all its nuances and complexity."
So it's like a Van Gogh, I guess.
