After reading a few articles about the "reproducibility crisis" in scientific journals and the pervasive misinterpretation of p-values and confidence intervals, I had a moment of doubt about my own understanding of what you can and can't say with classical statistics. I made a little app using RStudio's manipulate package that helped me better understand the correct interpretation of confidence intervals by actually looking at 100 confidence intervals from resamples of a population with specified parameters. I hope it helps others as well.
