Not just longer, but with a more firm derivation chain from theory to result which includes a lot of the exploratory work that youre talking about - the hypothesis test should only happen once we have established the rich background for it to be genuinely informative in, so substantially greater than the "1 bit per experiment"
If youve never read that meehl paper I wont spoil it for you, its a true gem. Stick with it even in the places where he seems like he's teaching a 101 course, its worth an attentive read (in part bc his writing voice is incredible).
For strictly the bools -> floats as experimental outputs argument, this is the gist of a lot of "abandon NHST, embrace effect sizes" lit of like 2011-2020
