Assuming neither made a mistake in calculations, which of these possible explanations could account for this apparent discrepancy?

II.  They wrote identical hypotheses, but the one who rejected the null used a higher α-level.
III. They wrote identical hypotheses, but the one who rejected the null used a lower α-level.
