The nature of the science is so anticlimactic.
It's not the nature of science that's anticlimactic, it's the nature of the way the media report on it. Science is hard work, not a roller coaster ride. It doesn't fit well into the 15-second attention span, so we wind up with silly, repetitive articles.
I like the first comment from that article:
"The next article on the Higgs Boson had better be the discovery of the Higgs Boson"
