On: What the Higgs boson tells us about the universe

Pedantically, that's not how O notation works.

But yeah, I agree that the "highly parameterized" part is a statement from fashion, and the number of parameters is really not a good reason to try to replace the Standard Model. (There are many good reasons, but this one isn't one of them.)

Also, I am yet to see any alternative proposal with fewer parameters.
