these papers by McCloskey might be useful reading for anyone interested
in this topic.

McCloskey, Deirdre N., and Stephen T. Ziliak. "The Standard Error of
Regressions." Journal of Economic Literature 34, no. 1 (1996): 97-114.

McCloskey, Donald N. "The Loss Function Has Been Mislaid: The Rhetoric
of Significance Tests." American Economic Review 75, no. 2 (1985): 
201-05.


Non-economists might want to know that the two McCloskeys cited are in 
fact the same person.
