If the FTL neutrino "discovery" had been kept quiet until fully vetted, he
probably would not have had to resign.
I suppose so... Also, things would have been completely different if the
60ns error would be of the opposite sign, that would lead to the
believing that neutrinos are a bit slower than light and not a bit
faster. This of course would also have been of big impact in the physics
community, but not so big :) and also would not have take even a single
line in the newspapers and other media, except on the specialized ones.
Anyway, I think that it was keep quiet during some time and only made
public when though that it was fully vetted... but as we have seen a
couple of details were overlooked.
In the positive side, as Javier Serrano said, it has been the first time
that neutrino speed has been measured with this precision.
