let's say that today ... we as the statistical community decided, by 
democratic vote, that the concept of 'hypothesis testing' ... which has 
essentially dominated statistical work for as long as i can remember 
(which, .... er um ... is a LOT of years!) ... is relegated to the 'we USED 
to do this stuff' category

just THINK about this ....

what would the vast majority of folks who either do inferential work and/or 
teach it ... DO????
what analyses would they be doing? what would they be teaching?
