Blount, Borland, and [[Lenski]]<ref> http://www.pnas.org/content/105/23/7899.full.pdf</ref> claimed that a key evolutionary innovation was observed during a [[laboratory]] [[experiment]]. That claim is false. The claim was based on incorrect measurements of statistical significance. Rather than using a test from the statistics literature, a flawed test was contrived and used to measure significance. The flawed test (“mean mutation generation”) produced artificially low p-values.
