I will be thinking about causal inference in the context of observational data and statistics, and the causal inference series will say little or nothing about the problems with P-values, Bayes factors, credible/confidence intervals overlapping 0 (or not), and the like. If you’d like to know the concerns I have about them, here are links to old posts on those issues.
