This is the big way for p-value science to fail, even if every actor is honest. It's obvious once you understand what a p-value is (it literally takes 5 seconds to understand) but nearly nobody does. Even people I've worked with at a FAANG, which you'd expect have an above average understanding of mathematics.

P values don't work at all if there's a lot of people working in a field!
For some it might take more than 5 seconds though https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/not-even-scientists-can...
