The key piece, which is still boggling to me as an experimentalist, is the inappropriate “nothing to see here” propagation of the error bars.
The entire “anomaly-based” approach has a laundry list of reasons why it is used, and how it could provide useful information. But the end result is that it obfuscates to the point that you’ve got aphysical results. And are applying “corrections” in the wrong direction.

This is barking up the wrong tree.
