A clears the bar, B just misses, are they different?
Strategy A has an estimated edge of bp with standard error bp (, , significant). Strategy B has an estimated edge of bp with standard error bp (, , just not significant). Someone argues A is clearly the better strategy because it is significant and B is not.
Test whether A's edge significantly exceeds B's, and explain why "one passed, one failed" is not evidence of a difference.
