To be fair, learning statistics is hard for the same reason that doing statistics is hard - any statistic involves assumptions, and the different assumptions underlying different models can be very subtle. There's a lot of disagreement among even professional, academic statisticians about fundamental concepts like p values [1] and how to quantify uncertainty under multiple hypothesis testing [2]. Unfortunately, I don't see any of this getting easier any time soon (although I would love to be proven wrong). [1] http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00031305.2016.11...
