So how do you feel about it? :) Seriously, what are you feelings about it after all those experiences?

You forgot the end of the story: After all that, it's done and published, and then a random person with no expertise and who barely read the paper posts on HN: the sample size is too small - as if you were in your first week of statistics 101 - and therefore the whole thing must be invalid! :)

I dunno... that was me then, I guess: hard core academic with a drive/compulsion to publish good work.

I admit to being amused by comments here about statistics by people who wouldn't know a Bonferroni correction from a bonfire.
