#2The probable boring answer, mentioned near the end, is that at a detection rate of 500 events per 15 years of experiment runtime, statistical power comes slowly.

#3It’s weird I submitted this yesterday. I wonder why it let the same submission in. Different urls somehow?

#4I'm surprised Sabine did not bring her usual drama and controversy to this one and talk about the fact that there is, shall we say, "extreme tension" between the results from LSND/MiniBooNE and those of other experiments.

The 4th figure is the money shot.

The URL you submitted has a trailing parameter while this one does not. Maybe this is why it did not get automatically merged.

But, as noted, that already happened. Six sigma is six sigma. To demand better than that amounts to special pleading.
It looks like people just wish this would go away, like the failure of the galactic rotation curves. What is strange is that this might be a place to park dark matter, catnip nowadays.
Usually when this sort of thing happens in cosmology, astrophysics, or particle physics, it is because most physicists hate working with the mathematics required, and hope somebody else will tell them they were right to ignore it.

Several hours later is usually treated as a new submission. You can submit yourself again the next day (or later the same day).

It is rare to see two-sigma results like this reported in physics. Or did I misunderstand?
