one great paper was done by ken brewer, behavioral statistics textbooks:
source of myths and misconceptions .... j of educational statistics, fall
1985, v10, #3, pp 252-268
he took a sample of stat books, then focused on a number of issues like:
hypothesis testing concepts, power, confidence intervals, central limit
theorem, etc. ... and categorized book difficulties into 1/2
truths, definitional errors, cart-before-the-horse, etc. ... kinds of
mistakes ...
i still use this paper ...
