NHST is wrong as a matter of theory. It is a weird amalgamation of null hypothesis testing (Fisher) and significance testing (Neyman and Pearson). Those two approaches by themselves are correct, and theoretically sound, given the appropriate assumptions are met.
NHST is not associated with any statistician, and you will find no author claiming to be its inventor. It is a misunderstanding of statistics apparently originating from psychology back in the 1960s, or at least that's as far back as I've found it.
