Don't take my word for it, Bozo. Read the papers coming out of the EWWG. Their first take on having found an H was at about a 97% confidence level. After they went back and got the background noise right it was more like 80% minus. Given that they only had around a dozen events to look at, they backtracked posthaste.
If a Higgs doesn't show up by 130Gev, somebody's going to have to start rethinking the Standard Model.
I didn't intend it personally. The New Scientist is notorious for pushing views that are, shall we say, outside of the consensus. There are always people with a different opinion; this is one case. Overall, however, very few physicists consider Higgs masses heavier than around 110 GeV to have been adequately explored. 130 GeV will take years to reach.
What could be more geeky than two physics guys fighting?!?! Whaddya gonna do, slap eachother around with slide rules!??!?
