Let say I'm using statistics program like SPSS. I have 20 different datasets that explain 20 different variables. The Scientific Method would be to propose a hypothesis, determine that the hypothesis would be supported is A was related to G, and then tell SPSS to run a crosstabulation of A and G. Alas, the software can just as easily run a cross tabulation of all 380 possible combinations of variables. There is even a special command to do this. With p-Hacking I look through these 380 tables to find the one with the best correlation (let's say that is C and R). Then I try and guess up a theory that C being correlated to R supports. I can't logically validate a hypothesis but only reject the opposite hypothesis.
