encourage authors to completely remove discussions of statistical significance from them
But the article itself mentions that NHSTs are the most widely used approach in psych. Removing it from introductory material just means you'll discover the misinformation later down the line.
Instead, students may be accurately recalling incorrect pedagogy.
Alternatively, students might be taught correctly but later forget or replace that information with the wrong interpretations.

The fallacies that go into the "other" category might suggest that the framework in Table 1 may not be exhaustive enough to capture all forms of statistical misinformation found in the material.
For the analyses we report here, we coded one definition per textbook even if there were multiple definitions
Why did they choose to only use one definition? I feel like this could oversimplify the quality of an entire textbook.
100% of psychology undergraduates they sampled incorrectly interpreted statistical significance
I think it's important that students understand what the importance of statistical significance is because sometimes results don't need to be statistically significant to still be significant and also a sample size that's too small can affect how confident you are.
