For me, statistcal inference is a a tremendously powerful tool, but it requires you to respect all the rules lest the inference be lost. I was not trained as a statistician; for me (as you might expect), inference is an intimidating tool.

The idea of resampling is very appealing to me. I appreciate that you can answer (albeit somewhat less formally) many of the same questions as you can using inference. As long as you make a good-faith effort not to fool yourself, you can use resampling to get useful answers.

One of the points that Prof. Nolan makes is that we can investigate the question of significance by using randomization, resampling, and rejection - rather than by using formal statistical inference.

She also refers to Tim’s Hesterberg’s paper on bootstraping and undergraduate statistics. Also refers to the Five Locks.
