Yes, this immediately reminded me of this book. To add an example (from the book): after implementing turn-on-red in a few places, a study was conducted to check if it increased the rate of accidents. The study found no statistically significant effect, so turn-on-red was rolled out statewide.

Now that we have more data, it turns out that turn-on-red does increase the rate of accidents. Read it in full here: https://www.statisticsdonewrong.com/power.html#the-wrong-tur... |
