That's, yeah, a pretty reasonable way to put it. You can still get low p values by ignoring first principles...like it doesn't solve correlation/causation issues, but it will tell you if there's a strong correlation.

Strong correlation here with folks who have never been part of an organizing project that won.
One or two people I know IRL have been publicly poo-pooing midterm enthusiasm on the terms that "liberals are just going to return to brunch," and I think it crystalized something for me, which is that there is a tendency within some of our movements to be deeply, venomously suspicious of joy

Why are we not investigating lobbyists and the correlation between their bribery and what is approved in policies and budgets? We can see the correlation, but, there never seems to be digging to show voters what quid pro quos are really happening. Because we all know lobbyist are legal bribery jobs.
Mark Carney’s new $36 billion mega-deduction was tailor-made for Big Oil. Indeed, it bears an uncanny resemblance to what Big Oil requested in its pre-budget submission. With Carney, what Big Oil wants, Big Oil gets. #climate

In the Carney era -- what Big Oil wants, Big Oil gets
