I agree with most of what is said in this article. However having worked a long time with statistics and criticized the statistical works of others, I have to say this:

Finding sources of variation takes alot more work than one appreciates.

That overscrutinizing P-values (creating stringent thresholds) can cause overcorrection if there are hidden dependencies in the data.
