True, but what I'm trying to convey is that if someone just wants to generally understand what a p-value is from no knowledge, understanding how to read a specific number isn't important. At first, I wasn't even going to include a specific number, but I realized not having one would be confusing in its own way.
Looking at a specific p-value and understanding its significance is only useful once they're actually looking at a study. But first they just want to know how it's derived and what it's good for.
