[sqrt28]

Oh come on! How is this sigma counting relevant? What would you prefer, a drug that improved the condition of 1% tested patients (p = 10^{-6}) or a drug that improved the condition of 95% tested patients (p = 0.05)?

Take any drug, test in on millions of patients, here is your six sigma. What problem did you solve?

You name a problem. Many years ago, I used to teach physics and with it also error treatment and some basic statistics to medical students. My overall impression was, they never got it, nor did the majority even understand its importance, when results are interpreted. Most medical student appeared to be exceptionally smart, even smarter as physics students. But somehow statistics never appealed to them.

Your comment shows me, that not much has changed.
