Change the range not the language on confidence intervals

s_doi:

a range of uncertainty in our estimate of the population parameter

Now you are talking my original language - I was once a physicist and my first ever undergraduate physics lecture was all about uncertainty (though perhaps not meant quite the same way). Though I expect it would take a generation to change the language in the medical literature unless we can get at the editors. ps. given the hypothesis we care about is often only one sided in medicine, could we not say, eg. if a 97.5% interval was 2 to infinity then any test hypothesis between 2 and infinity will return a fail-to-reject P-value of ˃ (1 – 0.975)?
