Like in Akerlof’s used-car market, the OCR platform presents employers with two categories of lemons (though others exist)—the disinterested applicant and the opportunitistic one. The former may not initially be interested in the job at all but feigns interest once granted an interview. This represents an error in selection against the interests of applicants who would like offers from the jobs they prefer most.

But many theoreticians feel that even if the Higgs boson exists, the Standard Model is unsatisfactory; for instance, it is unable to explain the presence of gravity, or the existence of something called "dark matter," which prevents spiral galaxies like our Milky Way from falling apart. Even the mighty Higgs cannot explain those mysteries...
