The point that I will select for the discussion will be Point 6:” A null-hypothesis P value greater than 0.05 means that no effect was observed, or that absence of an effect was shown or demonstrated.” from page 341.
That I understand this A null-hypothesis P value greater than 0.05 indicates that the observed data does not provide strong enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, but it does not imply that there is no effect or association. Instead, it shows that there are many hypotheses, including the null, that could fit the data, and therefore we cannot conclude that there is “no association” or “no evidence” of an effect. So we need to look at the point estimate for the effect size to understand what the data suggests.
