&gt; Again, all I am arguing is that if you use a sequential test, you should analyze it accordingly.<p>I hate to be picky and negative but this doesn&#x27;t seem like a justification for the use of the word &#x27;harmful&#x27; in the title. The phrase &#x27;considered harmful&#x27; has been used quite a bit lately and I get that it attracts attention but a title like &#x27;Bayesian A&#x2F;B Testing Considered Harmful&#x27; sounds like a group of authoritative individuals has collectively decided that it is indeed, harmful (and I was expecting a list of the reasons why). If it&#x27;s just one persons opinion, wouldn&#x27;t it be more accurate to say &#x27;Why I consider Bayesian A&#x2F;B Testing harmful&#x27;.
