It’s tempting to go into autopilot when conducting inferential statistics, just plugging and chugging p-values without regard for broader considerations about data collection or substantive significance. You’ve already seen how sensitive the results can be to changes in statistical significance or sample size. To show another possibility, let’s take one more example from the housing dataset.

просто подставляя известные значения p в некую формулу...

A “plug and chug” class refers to a class that is easy, because all you have to do is use formulas and perform calculations. These classes are easy because you don’t have to critically think about what you learn. There is also no creativity involved. Most “plug and chug” classes are math and physics classes because so many formulas are learned. On the other hand, English classes are not “plug and chug” classes because you have to write essays, which have no formulas and require creativity.
