I think you provide a convincing case of the problems of statistical significance: Without context on the 800 scientists that signed, we don’t know whether it’s stastically significant or not. 800 Nobel prize winners would certainly mean more than 800 graduate students. The discipline they were in could matter. I didn’t check you’re math, and I’m sure it’s fine. Raw statistics cannot reject the hypothesis (or null).
