Not sure if my edits to Line 433 are correct. Please correct me if I am wrong!

"significantly less right-skewed" -> "significantly flatter"

From what I understand (after reading the section), the first test of the P-curve analysis is a test for flatness (comparing the observed p-curve with the green p-curve representing the null of 33% power). So commenting on flatness seems more appropriate than its skewness, even though it is clearly skewed in the opposite direction.

Thanks! Flatter is easier to understand - I think the terminology I used is from the original paper, but I agree flatter is easier to understand.
