I can also say that, when I was starting stats, the term p-value seemed to hint tantalizingly at "probability." I cannot be the only person seduced into erroneously thinking that a p-value had something to do with the probability that something could be untrue.

Well a p-value is a probability, so I don't think that's exactly misleading.
