[R] Why F value and Pr are not show in summary() of an aov() result?

It's hard to read your code, so I won't comment on your specific
example. So when all else fails read the documentation for
?summary.aov:

They have columns ‘"Df"’, ‘"Sum Sq"’, ‘"Mean
     Sq"’, as well as ‘"F value"’ and ‘"Pr(>F)"’ if there are non-zero
     residual degrees of freedom.

So if you do df.residual(afit), is it >0?
