• The problem with χ2\chi^2 is that what we usually care about when comparing distributions is the effect size, not the significance
  • We care about how unfair the die is, not whether it's perfect to 50 decimal places.
  • With enough data, χ2\chi^2 will basically always be significant, no matter how trivial the difference
