That's one way of looking at it. Another might be that they were taking care not to fall into the trap of early, unfounded exaltation. Think of OPERA's faster-than-light neutrinos fiasco and BICEP2's gravitational waves from inflation that turned to dust.

Whatever the final verdict, caution seems appropriate.

There never was nothing.
