Uh... the NYT is a news outlet. They reported news on the fact that we had a conference, and summarized the contents of the conference (we see possible hints of a new particle). It's not like we published a paper in a scientific journal claiming anything of the sort. At present there is also a write-up on the homepage of the NYT titled "NATO Nations No Longer Question Need for Alliance," which presumably doesn't reject any null hypothesis either. I guess we should snark about that as well.
