Be careful when rushing. Your viewpoint as expressed is perfectly rational.

However, you know that both of these claims asked about are blatantly false, and were distracted by the idea that saying those claims is false also implies all alternatives proposed are based on lies.

To wit, the ask was "Is it really true that there a no theories that are proven or discarded with this experiment, and that the Chinese have plans to do it much faster? Her video is pretty damning."

Both of those things are clearly false.

The Chinese part is blatantly false, to the point it can be worked out by a laymen who knows years ascend.

The Standard Model itself is in question, modulo semantics about proven/disproven and the philosophy of certainty, by any reasonable definition, theory is at stake.
