Flip a penny 100 times. I would not be surprised by seeing the 10 heads in a row. Even 20. Sometimes you get lucky.

Ok, here's 6000 random dates from 1900-2000.

Equally significant. Shouldn't be.

Look at it the other way. The real data is equally INsignificant as 6000 random dates.

I would then say that the proposition under test fails.
