- sunpar 6y agoYes but he brings up a good point. They are more likely to talk about a 3 sigma result that challenges the standard model than one that doesn’t yield anything special. So given you know a 3 sigma result is being discussed, the probability that it’s a false result at higher sigma is more than 1/1000.
