p>0.05 has been a mainstay in entire fields of study for quite some time. Most notably, the psychological and biological science journals have unofficially endorsed 0.05 as a cutoff for "significant" results. While not everyone in a particular field has been a party to this myopic view of statistical significance, enough have been that the American Statistical Association released a statement on the topic not long ago.
