P-hacking is the academically problematic practice of attempting to come up with a question for which the data offers a significant p-value (probability value), as opposed to correct scientific analysis in which a question is formulated clearly and then answered with data.

It took a while to parse this comic, but with the explanation it's probably much easier to understand for anyone who doesn't know what P-hacking is.

This is Legitimately my favorite thing about baseball. The wild stats they come up with.
