I think the point here is don't hold your breath.
Science like this has to be slow and careful. Sudden magical breakthroughs are vanishingly rare, and this probably isn't one; but it is interesting, and worth getting excited about.

If you don't understand your standard model, it's merely a standard belief.
If you understand it, it can be invalidated and thrown away by the 'magical breakthrough' if it provides evidence.
