Dear all,

at the recent workshop in Mumbai I struggled (again) to deliver the message that a posteriori power does not make sense.

In the aftermath of this post on Potvin et al.'s paper I found a sentence soothing my soul:

We stop here and conclude BE, irrespective of the fact that we have not yet achieved the desired power of 80% (power = 66.3%).
