Indeed, statistics is fine, but I think the problem is larger than scientists being poorly educated. It looks to me like an awful lot of scientists aren't acting in good faith. I don't think that their conduct necessarily rises to the level of dishonesty, more like they aren't taking obvious steps to mitigate the potential for erroneous results.

Because none of their peers think those steps are obvious, and their peers determine their funding, status, etc.
