OT:

If people were insects, they would be hexapedal and would likely designate 0.06 as the de facto threshold for statistical significance.



I'm on the record as being anti-quiz, so take these grumblings as those of a grumpy old man who wants the kids to get off his lawn, but...

... that answer doesn't even make sense. If you're to make a connection between pedal-ity (insert more appropriate word) and p-value threshold, then it would only make sense that hexapedals would look for a p value of 0.15 since we bipedal humans look for 0.05.
