I'm not a physicist, but parts of this are entertaining to read, especially:

  However, in spite of these benefits of performing the card-
  drawing experiment it would be a terrible waste if a card 
  really did enforce the closure or a restriction on the LHC. 
  It should occur with such a low probability under normal 
  conditions that if our model were nonsense, then drawing a 
  card requiring a strong restriction should mean that our 
  type of theory was established solely on the basis of that 
  “miraculous” drawing.
Delightful nonsense, indeed!
