Question

A trainee examined a set of experimental data to find comparisons that "look promising" and calculated a family of Bonferroni confidence intervals for these comparisons with a 90 percent family confidence coefficient. Upon being informed that the Bonferroni procedure is not applicable in this case because the comparisons had been suggested by the data, the trainee stated:"This makes no difference. I would use the same formulas for the point estimates and the estimated standard errors even if the comparisons were not suggested by the data."
Please disscuss.
