So, this experiment disagrees with another theoretical analysis. Why do they claim it disagrees with another experiment, it’s confusing.

Here we go again ... Dueling Hypotheses at High Noon !!!

One guy claims to measure the speed of neutrinos traveling about 100 kilometers with accuracy resembling .00000001% of C. He then speculates that the results suggest they exceeded C by a significant, perhaps even meaningful amount which seems to overturn Physics As We Know It. Oh, my ! Whatever will we DO ?

Another guy comes along and points out that, while he wasn’t actually trying to clock the neutrinos ( within the same experimental regime ) he DID somehow manage to characterize them accurately enough ( as they went zipping by ) to speculate that they failed to adhere to the speculations of some OTHER guys — who weren’t even there — but STILL think they know what a superluminal neutrino MUST look and act like.

1st guy: Man, look at that superluminal neutrino’s ET ! He got here before he even left the Line ! All RIGHT !!!

2d guy: Man, that ain’t no superluminal neutrino — if he DID try to go that fast, my buddy over there thinks his wheels would fall off, at least !!!

1st guy: But ... but ... I got him clocked on the scoreboard over there ! I got him goin’ over the line in my camera, Dude !!!

2d guy: Sorry, man. Must have been some other dude’s ride ‘cause your guy’s wheels must have fallen off before you even clocked him.

And so it goes ...
