My point is that CERN's publication of the anomaly is implied by its existence and an assumption that CERN minimally competent to run a high-level research project. Therefore, the publication itself gives us no information we did not already have. (The paper itself doesn't even really give us anything important by noting the anomaly, either, since our beliefs are about the implications of the anomaly, so its existence in itself can't be part of the calculation.)
