Hossenfelder’s book "Lost in Math" ( One review here http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10314 http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10314 ) covers a bit of why confirming the standard model is a bit disappointing. The rough idea is the standard model is known to be limited (problems unifying with general relativity and ready to explain dark matter), so one wants to see an explicit experimental-scale (non-galactic scale) exception to help find a replacement theory.
