What's so particularly embarrassing is that you clearly did not have any competent statisticians on board until now. This was not some big surprise that needed "a lot of resources to fix." This is something that should be obvious to anyone who understands hypothesis testing, and is something that statisticians have been describing how to do correctly for over 50 years: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1551774/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1551774/
