Undefined limiting proportion (The limiting proportion of successes as the number of trials tends to infinity has to be left vaguely defined as defining it precisely would render the definition of frequentist probability circular.)

Uncontemplated null distributions (For example, does using P values to measure things like evidence, surprise or compatibility make sense when null distributions are uniform, truncated or multi-modal distributions with one of the modes in the tails?)

Global effect obsession (when we want to know about the specific effects assessed by individual tests. Tricky unresolved problem in my opinion. Working on it! Anyone wants to collaborate?)
