I would be legitimately shocked if even a single doctor were willing to defend that p-test as in principle what it is for something to be statistically significant no matter what thing is at issue, rather than as a decent enough heuristic

Unless things have changed in the last twenty years, when I did a series of interviews with doctors about Bayesian probabilities in relation to an expert system project, you're going to be unpleasantly surprised at both the number who do - and the number who aren't really very sure what a p-test is at all...
