>The type of analysis being banned is often called a frequentist analysis

I find that there is a trend of associating "bad statistics" with "Frequentists Statistics" which isn't really fair. If you found a statistician trained only in Frequentist methods and asked their opinion on experiment design in psychological research they would likely be just as appalled as any Bayesian.

I'm a big fan of Bayesian methods, but the solutions of "we'll solve the problem of misunderstanding p-values by removing them!" is still a problem of misunderstanding p-values! The misunderstanding is the issue, not the p-value.
