The phrase, the "King is dead. Long live the King" or "Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi!" communicates the fact that the death of a particular king does not imply the death of kingship. I found modifying that phrase appropriate for the recent announcement that 800+ scientists had called for the end of 'statistical significance'. Reading the fine print of that announcement, the concept of statistical significance remains, even as an inappropriate reliance on it for determining a study's claim is denounced.
