Well, they do not have a significance to claim to justify that SM is incorrect. Besides, they are talking about decay rates of mesons, which are bound states of mesons, meaning strong force interaction which is very prone to errors in theoretical rate calculations. In the case of a growing divergence, more calculations need to be done.
Anyway, why is big science bad?
