>"You cited Gigerenzer, Neyman, Pearson as if they opposed the concept of power."

Sorry for the miscommunication. The point is that power is a Neyman/Pearson concept, Fisher said it didn't make sense. On the other hand a gradient of evidence is a Fisherian concept, Neyman/Pearson said that didn't make sense.

What people have been teaching as stats is a mismash of the two that makes sense to no one who thinks these types of things through. Gigerenzer reviews this strange phenomenon and offers some entertaining commentary, it is a decent starting point.
