Description
In bootstrap_model:
lme4::bootMer()defaults totype = "parametric".boot::boot()defaults tosim = "ordinary"which is non-parametric.
Should we be consistent? Or does the diff between the models somehow justify this?
@bwiernik thoughts?

Research direction
Start with the bootstrap_model implementation and inspect how it calls lme4::bootMer() and boot::boot(), including their default type and sim arguments. Compare the mixed-model and fixed-model paths and determine whether the differing bootstrap methods are intentional; done means the behavior is consistently justified or aligned, with tests covering both paths.
