The path of the LHC experiments to the successful observation of a Higgs boson has not been the smoothest I could think of, with delays in construction, incidents, and the like; but we are finally there. And now, with over 10/fb of data fully analyzed and ...

... keep in mind, and you are right: if the Higgs can decay to tau lepton pairs and charm quark pairs, the two reactions have a similar phase space (the tau weighs 1.77 GeV, the charm 1.2 GeV, both almost irrelevant with respect to ...
