I decided to put a question mark at the end of the same title in the report published in the AIP's Physics News Update. After all the bashing that String Theory has gotten recently, it would only be fair when there is a glimmer of experimental observation that it might be able to explain. This is such a case about the recent observation of jet suppression at RHIC.
Still, as in any theoretical development (or even any new experimental observation), this will require a "gestation" period to let experts in the field fight it out. If this cannot be explained by other means, then Woit's Not Even Wrong may have to change!
