The book has eight voluminous chapters and only one is about hypothesis testing. Much of it is about design of experiments and statistical process control, think something like optimizing the workings of a factory. Hypothesis testing has been under attack in psychology/economics/etc., as part of I think a broader problem those disciplines have drawing reliable conclusions in general, since it is difficult to control all the variables. This book is about engineering and industrial applications which are closer to physics.
