Nah it wont be written by Fisher, Neyman, or Pearson. You can agree or disagree with their philosophies but they all knew what they were talking about.

I would like to find the first published instance of the erroneous combination of Fisher's p-value based significance testing and Neyman-Pearson error-rate based Hypothesis testing. This happened sometime between 1928 and 1940.

This paper explains the phenomenon I am talking about.

The paper/book must be published before this earliest reference I have found:
Lindquist, E.F., 1940. Statistical Analysis in Educational Research. Houghton Mifflin, Boston.
