Very helpful -- this points out that this is a very focused tool on simple calculations of test statistics. They appear in papers formatted very strictly, like this:

  t(37) = −4.93, p <.001
or:

  χ2(1, N = 226) = 6.90, p <.01.
Because of the strict format and the limited scope of the tool, one would suspect the false positive rate is very low. And because it's just a simple calculation (not a matter of interpretation), authors should not (in theory) be offended by getting a notice.

The link to their paper is: http://link.springer.com/article/10.3758%2Fs13428-015-0664-2
