I was surprised by the possibility (raised by the article) that the Higgs could turn out to not actually be the Higgs, but just another particle with the right mass. Is that a real possibility?

We just know that its decay products add up to a plausible energy level. https://arstechnica.com/science/2011/12/rolling-the-dice-understanding-how-physicists-hunt-for-the-higgs/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2011/12/rolling-the-dice-und...
