In theory for multiple comparisons they “share” a value of P such that a significant result adjusted for four comparisons is evaluated against a P-value of (0.05/4) = 0.0125. This correction (called the Bonferroni correction) is the most restrictive method used for controlling family-wise error rate. Most researchers would adjust P using a less restrictive method, which is not necessarily wrong to do. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_comparisons_problem
Otherwise I agree with your logic
