> correct interpretation; p-value = Prob(rejecting the null when the null is true)

This is also not quite correct. The p-value is the probability of falsely rejecting the null due to sampling error. It is quiet on all other errors that are frequently committed.

The real probability of falsely rejecting the null starts at 15 % thanks to mathematical slip-ups alone: https://two-wrongs.com/the-lying-p-value
