Explain why the authors believe such a change is necessary at this point in time, and give several arguments for and against the proposal, contrasting it with the suggestion by Benjamin et al. (2017) to lower the p threshold or significance tests to .005.

Critically evaluate the following statement from Lakens et al. (2018):
We conclude that the term “statistically significant” should no longer be used and suggest that researchers employing null hypothesis significance testing justify their choice for an alpha level before collecting the data, instead of adopting a new uniform standard
Explain why the authors believe such a change is necessary at this point in time, and give several arguments for and against the proposal, contrasting it with the suggestion by Benjamin et al. (2017) to lower the p threshold or significance tests to .005. Your statement should reflect your own position on the issue and should indicate whether you are planning to use the term “statistically significant” for your own research (or apply it to existing literature).
