But there is no need in the paper for the following claims: that statisticians routinely use ‘dishonest’ modelling assumptions, that statisticians should aim for ‘purely evidence-based’ inferences and that modelling assumptions are ‘almost always a pure mathematical convenience’. These sorts of claims are redundant or misleading for three…
