I'm becoming more and more convinced we need to multiply anything that is not strictly a probability (CIs, ML model scores, p-values) by 100.

"I have a confidence of 95" has very different ring to it than "I am 95% confident."

It would also prevent people from doing stupid things like using these values to compute expectations.

A p-value is strictly _a_ probability.
I'm an idiot.
