David's comment: Note my bolded statements. The Standard Model is very consistent as far as it goes. It may not go further. We don't know what we don't know, and what is found in the future may not fit current predictions.

> dhw: I have noted your bolded statements, which repeat other quotes saying that the SM may be defective, we agree that the SM is a completed segment, and we agree that we have no idea what pattern may emerge in the future when research delves into other segments of the pattern. Why all this vehement opposition to statements of mine which you then proceed to echo?-I have sensed a nuance of difference in your thinking from mine. But it now appears we have coalesced into the same point of view. See below.

> DAVID: YES! Remember the quote, 'who ordered that". Later the muons fit in.
