Simply that a truth value being attached to a theoretical trend because 'it's been running for the past forty years' strikes me as mere subjectivism. As to ''matching existing tested models' consider the vast number of events taking place during, say, a cyclotron collision at CERN. There are so many only a small proportion can be detected and recorded. This engenders the creation of specific software aimed at detecting a limited range of anticipated events. Self fulfilling profacy could be one result.
The talk by Joseph Lykken (Lykken, ironically, is Norwegian for luck), making the science news rounds today, conjectures that Higgs will some day destroy the universe in a flash of a "true vacuum" expanding at light speed and destroying our "false vacuum", and everything else in it. Here is the original paper. The interesting part for me is not the idea, which is not at all new, but the related anthropic reasoning, which goes as follows:
That alternate universe would be "much more boring," Lykken said. Which led him to ask a philosophical question: "Why do we live in a universe that's just on the edge of stability?" He wondered whether a universe has to be near the danger zone to produce galaxies, stars, planets ... and life.
