At the end of the matter, my point is that the world is full of untested theories that might have a broader, more direct effect on the people here on Earth. Like how about curing cancer before you go and build this new collider? Just a thought, science and money can be better applied for the here and now, and when we got that sorted out, then go mess with deep space theories.

Yes, indeed, you can argue it is a waste of money. I am not disputing that. What I don't want is people to go around believing that things with a very small likelihood of occurring should stop entire projects. For example, stopping all human drug trials because of the one case that ends up in the news. People will jump on reports like the black hole thing and then waste their energies campaigning to stop the project, meanwhile people continue to die of cancer.
I protest against people who claim to be anti-science (as in, the scientific method sucks) not anti-establishment (as in, this project shouldn't have been invested in by the government).
