"Evidence not yet provided" != "No evidence provided"
The Higgs boson was theorized in the mid 60s. Final evidence not found till a few years ago. It's was a valid theory until then. It is exactly how it works: theory is good enough that working to find the evidence pays off.
And there wasn't a strong incentive NOT to find the boson, such in the lab case. Some US institutions and actors, and the CCP, would be hit by liabilities, severely, if the theory is proven true. Not only careers (rightfully) ruined, but heavy sanctions, and international condemnation, given the damage. So there's a strong incentive to shoot down the theory, even if it's the most logical one.
