Personally, I thought that episode was rather poor. Harvey made a number of claims that were just plain false. For example, he said that the p value is the probability that your result is true (!). He also said that the reason that physicists at the LHC require 5 sigma is because their data is so noisy (!). I think the first one was a miswording, but the second was a serious conceptual error. I wish Russ had pushed back a little harder on that episode.
