    The answer boils down to the weight one gives the theory and its predictions. This is the reason the experimentalists and theoreticians had divergent views on the criterion for determining the precise point at which they could justifiably state ‘Our data indicate that we have discovered the Higgs boson’. Theoreticians were confident that a finding within the range (any of eighty bins) that was of standard reliability (of three or four sigma), coupled with the theoretical expectations that Higgs would be found, would be sufficient. In contrast, experimentalists argued that at no point of data analysis should the pertinence of the look-elsewhere effect be reduced, and the search proclaimed successful, with the help of the theoretical expectations concerning Higgs. One needs to be as careful in combing the range as one practically may. As a result, the experimentalists’ preferred value of sigmas for announcing the discovery was five. This is a standard under which very few findings have turned out to be a fluctuation in the past.
