I read a survey once, that found that a huge number of PhDs/researchers in the studied sample gave an incorrect definition for what a "95% confidence interval" (/p-value, etc) actually means, and that several popular introductory textbooks defined it incorrectly as well. Wish I bookmarked it.

At bare minimum, journals need to require that researchers publish all their data alongside every paper, so statistical analyses can be redone and flaws can be spotted.
