Nasim Taleb wrote extensively on this. > P-values are shown to be extremely skewed and volatile, regardless of the sample size n, and vary greatly across repetitions of exactly same protocols under identical stochastic copies of the phenomenon; such volatility makes the minimum p value diverge significantly from the "true" one. Setting the power is shown to offer little remedy unless sample size is increased markedly or the p-value is lowered by at least one order of magnitude. https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.07532 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrfSh07rT0
