Some have advocated that Bayesian methods should replace p-values. This has not happened on a wide scale, partly because it is complicated and partly because many users distrust the specification of prior distributions in the absence of hard data.

So instead we trust the frequentist methods cooked up a hundred years ago by a handful of statisticians trying to manufacture empirical support for eugenics.
