History lesson for you: The first five man team showed up WITH a video of heroic clears.

There was no theorycrafting. There was no disscussion. There was this guy (xbox I think?) that posted a video and said "look what I did".
And THAT is why it's much easier to get grant funding as an experimentalist than as a theoretical physicist.

"Hi I found awesome new particle! Grants plz?"
<- Experimental Physicist

You need the grant funding to find the particle to begin with. Equipment costs money. What do experimentalists need grants for? All they do is sit around reading books and writing stuff on chalk boards. =P
