An article named “This is how we do modern frequentist statistics” is an excerpt from a book called “Bayesian workflows”

Where is the article explaining that?

Anyway, great article, thanks for sharing.

As mentioned in the sibling comments, Andrew Gelman has covered this elsewhere. In particular, Gelman et al have a "Model Checking" chapter in their Bayesian Data Analysis book https://sites.stat.columbia.edu/gelman/book/BDA3.pdf . A popular intro Bayesian book Statistical Rethinking has a similar "Sampling from the Imaginary" chapter (https://civil.colorado.edu/~balajir/CVEN6833/bayes-resources...). Both books introduce the topic early (the latter book deals with it in the third chapter) if you are willing to do a bit of reading.

This technique is very useful to gain intuition for a given sample size. Just run a few simulations with uncorrelated data and then you can get a sense of how extreme the estimators can be.

This should be automatic now in any statistical analysis given ubiquity of coding agents.
