Suppose Monopoles were discovered. Nothing really rules out their existence, Gauss's Law for magnetism is just an assertion that we've never seen a monopole, it's possible to patch up maxwell's equations to get monopoles. To some people, the existence of monopoles is 'obvious'. It would still be a very big deal if monopoles were to be discovered, even in trace amounts, and no feasible way to make more of them.
