I suppose so... Also, things would have been completely different if the 
60ns error would be of the opposite sign, that would lead to the 
believing that neutrinos are a bit slower than light and not a bit 
faster. This of course would also have been of big impact in the physics 
community, but not so big :) and also would not have take even a single 
line in the newspapers and other media, except on the specialized ones. 
Anyway, I think that it was keep quiet during some time and only made 
public when though that it was fully vetted... but as we have seen a 
couple of details were overlooked.

In the positive side, as Javier Serrano said, it has been the first time 
that neutrino speed has been measured with this precision.
