His paper makes a valuable contribution to the efforts of anyone else seeking to make a more multidisciplinary analysis incorporating the kinds of additional line of evidence that I suggest.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315236707728759521.post-29753595615114928792013-12-13T12:52:58.647-07:002013-12-13T12:52:58.647-07:00@ Andrew, "His analysis is largely limited to...@ Andrew, "His analysis is largely limited to exclusions based on direct searches at the LHC and does not really integrate exclusions arising from electric dipole and magnetic moments of charged leptons, neutrinoless double beta decay, direct dark matter detection experiments, etc."<br /><br /><br />Good for you, Andrew.<br /><br />Matt’s blog is obvious grossly misleading. His problem goes beyond of ignoring the other *set* of very important data. This is an issue of epistemology, the paradigm. But, his view will soon become the minority, see the comment at http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2013/12/06/paradigm-shift/#comment-163211 <br />Tienzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842156512465678309noreply@blogger.com
