1. We know a fair amount about how effective brief workshops are for teaching psychotherapy. They aren't.

We'd like to believe we can keep requiring just ANOVA and regression, and train students to be responsible, skeptical scientists with just that.

It's like people believe that quant training just teaches people how to run models, and not how to THINK about design, data collection, analut, and inference.
And think about it, the more undertrained people we have in the field, the more changing the status quo is threatening.

It self-perpetuates.
