This is precisely the sort of misunderstanding that surrounds p-values, and it is what the statement aims to correct. Lowering the standard p-value threshold does not imply an improvement in these factors. The problems of p-hacking and creating false positives lie in the disclosure of the methodology, not the threshold of p-value. That is the whole point.
This will be my last comment in this chain. I'm just trying to clear up some persistent misconceptions that I see on the internet.
