This sort of position seems so at odds with what Allport himself actually wrote. This seems to fall into the more general category of straw-manning original sources in order to create 'space' and contrast for new findings (see also: social identity theory/Tajfel & Turner 1979)

Luckily, you don't need to choose b/c you can use them both! The framing of "p value bad"/"CI good" means that some people never really get that they're based on the same information & the same basic stat. philosophy (some of these points are made here: richarddmorey.medium.com/power-and-pr...)
Power and precision

Horrific, but I try to remind myself that a lot of these aren't even people, and many will be the same person sock-puppeting for money. The big issue is the amplification machine that warps our perception of norms. Let's not take that poison and remember that people are actually good overall
