"I have difficulty to believe it, because nothing in Italy arrives ahead of time." -Gotta love particle physics humor.
It sucks that we have to wait so long to confirm or deny the findings. It's pretty huge if it turns out to be correct and pretty banal if it is the result of a loose cable. It will cast a shadow of suspicion (from science skeptics) on things like the higgs too.
