This could make it worse. Instead of hacking for 5%, maybe they’ll hack for the lowest possible.

To be clear I mean rejecting p-values all together (or at least requiring additional evidence) not the specific <0.05 requirement.

For some context in the article they do not call for abolishing p-values but for a stop of the "significant" false dichotomy. An example would be to explain the consequences of all the values in the confidence interval or even to simply reformulate a sentence from "no significant effect was found" to "our data neither prove or disprove the presence of a significant effect"
