those numbers are screwy. Any time you see a p value less than 0.01 it is posturing.

I dunno about that. FDA requires P value under 0.05 from clinical trials to approve a drug. Depends on the effect of the drug and the size of the trial. The larger the effect the smaller sample size you need. The smaller the effect the larger sample size you need. These are all small trials.

Wrong. For p-value, the lower the better. It’s roughly the odds of being wrong. A value of 0.001 is phenomenal. 0.10 not so much, but still good.
