Experiments like IceCube answer different questions than accelerator based experiments. You couldn't, for example, measure the Higgs branching ratio to bottom quarks at IceCube. On the other hand, you can't measure high-energy neutrinos at the LHC. Both types of experiments have their place.

Totally hear you. But Yang's whole point was accelerator measurements are not what we should be focusing on for the next "x" new big experiments. I tend to agree.
