In ancient times...
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people... the Druids

No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock... Of Stonehenge

Your professor also seems to have the whole concept of "statistical significance" wrong. A significance level of 0.05 doesn't mean you have "95% confidence" in the results, it means there would be a 5% chance of the observed data being generated if the null hypothesis was true.
