Not quite it. This is why they are (in a preliminary fashion) calling it “a” Higgs Boson (possibly).

String theory: It's not even wrong!
It’s a pretty big deal when a theory predicts something that has never previously been observed. Then, once you know what the theory predicts, you go out, look for it, and find it.
Einstein predicting that gravity would bend light, which turned out to be true when tested was a big deal. So is this. The standard model, as gawky and ad hoc as it seems, makes good predictions of things we have never seen before and has done so pretty consistently.
Yes, I know this. I was posting in response to someone that asked “How do they know it’s the Higgs-Boson?”
While they can't be 100% certain, it's "signature" is just what was predicted by theoretical considerations for the Higgs.

Considering the fact that we have not been able to observe anything beyond our universe or anything smaller than the elementary particles, we can’t see the bigger or smaller picture.
Infinity leaves a lot of room for improvement.

A. From Universe-Energy-Mass-Life Compilation
http://universe-life.com/2012/02/03/universe-energy-mass-life-compilation/
From the Big-Bang it is a rationally commonsensical conjecture that the gravitons, the smallest base primal particles of the universe, must be both mass and energy, i.e. inert mass yet in motion even at the briefest fraction of a second of the pre Big Bang singularity. This is rationally commonsensical since otherwise the Big would not have Banged, the superposition of mass and energy would not have been resolved.
The universe originates, derives and evolves from this energy-mass dualism which is possible and probable due to the small size of the gravitons.
Since gravitation Is the propensity of energy reconversion to mass and energy is mass in motion, gravity is the force exerted between mass formats.
All the matter of the universe is a progeny of the gravitons evolutions, of the natural selection of mass, of some of the mass formats attaining temporary augmented energy constraint in their successive generations, with energy drained from other mass formats, to temporarily postpone, survive, the reversion of their own constitutional mass to the pool of cosmic energy fueling the galactic clusters expansion set in motion by the Big Bang.
B. From: 21st century science whence and whither
http://universe-life.com/2011/12/13/21st-century-science-whence-and-whither/
1. Dark energy and matter YOK. Per E=Total[m(1 + D)] all the energy and matter of the universe are accounted for.
Adopt space mass distance concept, constant rate mass-to-energy reconversion.
2. Higgs Particle YOK. Mass forms below some value of the above D. All mass formats evolve from the gravitons.
3. Galactic clusters formed by conglomeration?
No. Galactic clusters formed by Big-Bang’s fragments dispersion, evidenced by their Newtonian behavior including their separation acceleration.
4. The universe expansion is fueled by the mass-to-energy constant rate reconversion. Eventually, as expansion will slow down, will run out of massfuel, gravity will overcome expansion and initiate empansion back to singularity. The universe is a cyclic array of energy-mass dualism, between nearly all-energy and all-mass poles, under omnipresent gravity. Gravity is the monotheism and re-genesis of the universe.

Excellent, excellent response!!!
