I guess the OP is a special kind of person who has never heard of "making mistakes and adjusting the theory" along the way.
No where in this thread or any other have I ever said such a thing. How you could get that from my op can only be explained through some reading comprehension issues on your side. As for "making mistakes and adjusting a theory" you must first
apply the actual scientific method first... else the mistakes you make
are in fact your fault.

Far more so is your disturbing lack of reading comprehension
@ Cynter DeVriesThx i am going to remember that link. It manages to explain that concept better then i ever have been able to.

It wasn't until three years ago that we've actually been able to "see" an electron, yet there was absolutely no contest over whether electrons do exist or not for a whole lot longer than that.
Also, it's still not clear whether this is "the" Higgs Boson or the lightest of several Higgs Bosons, and further testing could take quite a few extra years.
Hello again Akita
That is a totally different story all together. Electricity and magnetism were a well documented and studied
OBSERVABLE phenomena that could be seen and measured long before an actual electron could be "seen" visually. I'd say the best proof of their existence prior to seeing one was how cathode ray beams acted in an electric field and how they produced X-rays.
A "god particle" is a totally different thing that has no observable phenomena associated with it, whatsoever, outside of the imaginary role that Higgs intended it to play. A theory designed to plug the holes in their "theory of everything"
AND they gave this man the Nobel Prize for it before it was even 100% confirmed. Remember, what they have found does not actually match what Higg's even predicted in the first place. It could just as well be something else all together.
I call that dirty science.
