"So how excited should we be? One thing we learned today is that the anomaly is unlikely to be a statistical fluctuation. However, the observable is not of the clean kind, as the measured angular distributions are susceptible to poorly known QCD effects. The significance depends a lot on what is assumed about these uncertainties, and experts wage ferocious battles about the numbers."
Conclusively: "Therefore, the deviation from the standard model is not yet convincing at this point."
Of course eventually one of them really needs to pan out in order to explain dark matter and dark energy. But the default attitude to any of these results should be a good dose of healthy skepticism.
