The Bonferroni criterion is used to adjust for multiple comparisons in statistical tests to control the family-wise error rate. If the criterion is set greater than k + 1, where k is the number of comparisons, it becomes too lenient, failing to adequately control for type I errors (false positives), which can lead to biased estimates of the responses due to an increased likelihood of incorrectly rejecting null hypotheses.
