> Indeed! There's a lot of Bayesian propaganda floating around these days. While I enjoy it, I would also love to see some frequentist propaganda

I think that frequentist statistics doesn’t need marketing. It’s the default way to do statistics for everyone and, frankly, Bayesian software is still quite far away from frequentist software in terms of speed and ease of use. Speed will be fixed by Moore’s law and better software and easy of use will also be fixed by better software at some point. McElreath and Gelman and many others do a great job in getting more people into Bayesian statistics which will likely result in better software in the long run
