Unfortunately, these things can be extremely subtle. Far too often it boils down to sampling bias where the differences are actually differences in the variance estimation that results in a significant result. For example suppose that "male" dice are biased to role a 5 slightly more often than "female" dice. You will find a statistically significant difference related to the 5-side of the dice if you roll them enough. It doesn't mean that rolling a 5 indicates anything about the "gender" of a particular dice.
