Is that a straight question or another covert assault?

Wiki has a good explanation.

BRIEFLY:

TYPE I ERROR; SAYING SOMETHING IS THERE, WHEN THERE’S NOTHING THERE.

TYPE II ERROR: SAYING NOTHING IS THERE WHEN SOMETHING IS THERE.

THERE’S A STATISTICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO CHANCES. THE MORE ONE LEANS OVER BACKWARDS AVOIDING A TYPE I ERROR, THE MORE CERTAIN HE MAKES EXPERIENCING A TYPE II ERROR.

Invariably naysayers are either ignorant of that or pretend it’s not true . . . when it’s a long, very long accepted fact.
