You can come to the conclusion that they are significant. Significance is significance. Sample size is included in the Analysis of Variance. A larger sample size will give you more degrees of freedom, allowing a smaller difference to be significant. You need a huge difference when you only test with a few samples. Hundreds or thousands of samples, the differences can be much smaller if there is little variability between samples.
I've read dozens (maybe hundreds) of peer-reviwed scientific articles and I've rarely (likely never) seen all of the "raw data." Even then, most of us couldn't do the statisitcs on the data.
It was not the Chinese, it was the Canadians!
