  Well, to paraphrase what Bellarmine wrote to Galileo, if it turns out to be true, then we've got some cogitatin' to do. One route is to try and beef up the results, for instance by looking for similar results under different conditions. Then, if someone finds a pattern that ties these results together, there's the chance that they could write a theory. The big win is if theory and experiment can play off of one another as they both gain greater precision and breadth.

    To be clear, TFA is about the second example of similar results under different conditions. Now they’d be looking for a third.
