Your mistake here is in saying that because the p-value is 1/32 you reject the null hypothesis. You just decided to do that with utterly no justification. There is a problem with people unthinkingly deciding that a p-value of .05 is reasonable is most situations but that is not actually an issue with frequentist statistics anymore then people starting out with bizarre priors would be a problem with Bayesian statistics.

"that is not actually an issue with frequentist statistics"

To me that sounds exactly like when people say everything that goes wrong with cryptocurrency in practice is not a problem with the concepts.
