What does the 'experiment' confirm, if the results fall into one of these bin categories ?
To me, it confirms the applicability of the Standard Model, as a means for explaining the behaviour of fundamental particles. This may also lead to further predictions/outcomes.
What about the results that don't fit into any of these bins ? What do have these mean about the physical phenomena, and what do these then say about the Standard Model ?
