Dennis wants a name for the probability of correctly retaining a true null
hypothesis, and Don likes to think of these probabilities as unconditional,
so why not just call the probability of correctly retaining a true null
hypothesis by its most likely *unconditional* value, ZERO.  ;-)  Sorry, I
just could not resist making that wisecrack.

More seriously, I like Don's suggestion of "confidence level," or, the term
I use, "confidence coefficient."
