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.
