The secret fourth kind is ‘we applied a standard theory to their map of every tree and got some suspicious results.’
The one I see the most is:
“We avoided any semblance of rational experimental design and got significant results.”
We were awarded grant money from a corporation and got results that are favourable to them but require further grants to really boost that evidence up a notch, wink wink
If all else fails, use “significant at a p>0.05 level” and hope no one notices.
