| contents | This note provides a conceptual clarification of Ronald Aylmer Fisher's (1935) pioneering exact test in the context of the Lady Testing Tea experiment. It unveils a critical implicit assumption in Fisher's calibration: the taster minimizes expected misclassification given fixed probabilistic information. Without similar assumptions or an explicit alternative hypothesis, the rationale behind Fisher's specification of the rejection region remains unclear. |
