Why are equally-wide confidence intervals used with the Benjamini-Hochberg correction?
This paper says:
*2. For any p-values that are significant after FDR correction, construct a CI for the corresponding test with coverage $1-\alpha^{'}$, where $\alpha^{'}$ is: $\alpha^{'}=\frac{k}{m}\...

Does the Prospective-Alpha-Allocation-Sequence (PAAS) actually control the family-wise error rate?
I recently read about the PAAS as an alternative to Bonferroni. Unlike Bonferroni, where $\alpha$ is subdivided among multiple tests such that
$$ \alpha_1 + \alpha_2 + \ldots + \alpha_k = \alpha $$

I am trying to understand more clearly in which cases an adjustment of p-values is necessary. At the moment my reasoning about this can be summarized as follows:
