That would be really sad. Every bachelor student in particle physics learns about the "look-elsewhere effect", but in a way, our field is about nothing, we do it out of intellectual curiosity. But in medical studies, where it is potentially about lifes, you see sometimes so sloppy statistical analysis. Sometimes I get the impression that it is OK, even fashionable, in certain fields to know nothing about statistics. Like in school when it was not cool to be good in math. (Source: anecdotes from fellow medical and non-medical researchers) Thankfully, there are also many good medical studies, and I know there are many researchers in medicine who are much better statisticians then I am. I haven't looked into this concrete study, so I can't comment on it. But I'm a bit worried about the field in general...
