I'm getting very strong "angels on a pinhead" vibes from this

With the minute difference that we do not have experimental validation for Angels dancing on a pinhead whereas there is a massive amount of experimental validation for the standard model.

I thought he meant "angles on a pinhead".

Now you're talkin' tri-angular!

Right angles are wrong angles! Death to th' T-square!

So you're saying that all we need to do is experimentally validate the number of angels dancing on a pinhead?

Measure the area of a pinhead, divide by cross-sectional area of an angel. Easy peasy.

Division by zero error.

Its still purely theoretical, but a lot of work has already been done to show experimental evidence of angels. I think we're pretty close to confirming their existence.

Im getting very strong “ad hominem” vibes from someone who has an irrational view of predictive models.
