Joshua Mcateer The 4/5ths chance is for getting a type II error. This is actually playing it safe because a Type II error is failing to reject the null hypothesis even though it is false
+Joshua Mcateer I guess you don't quite understand what you are talking about or what statistical power is. The same statistical principles apply to physicists' study of physical phenomena. Do a quick google search on "hypothesis testing for physicists" will help educate yourself.
If Alpha is decreased then Beta will be increased. So, 1-Beta=Statistical Power will increase. Please, give your feedback.
If a physicist tried to publish a studied with only a 4/5 chance of getting it right, they'd be laughed at.

You don't want to pay it safe, you want the study to be representative of the phenomenon being observed.
