I was under the impression that neutrinos had been believed to have been detected, but that the tools to detect them lacked the precision to do so reliably. If I'm mistaken there, then it was a bad example to use in that list. :-)

(Muon from tau, etc.) The resolution of the "missing solar neutrino" controversy was that some of the neutrinos morph from one flavor to another in transit and for a long time we were only detecting the one kind.
