Well they are really using this (and most of the LHC stuff) to confirm current theoretical physics rather than to find new theories.

Isn't that like saying you are throwing a match into a barrel of liquid to confirm your theory that the liquid isn't flamable?
Lots of scientific breakthroughs are found accidently by someone trying to confirm another hypothisis.

It's a bit more precise than that. It's kind of like working out the molecular structure of the liquid, doing the math to find out whether its flammable and then tossing a match in it.
And of course they could find something new, theres just no reason to believe that that something new is going to somehow destroy the human race.

Which again, has often led to disasterous results.
I point back to my earlier example of the Tychonic model.
The Tychonic model was mathmatically sound, it was as far as "proven" as anything could be without having direct proof.
