Unless your prior for his accuracy on Quantum Physics is very strong, you should update your prior for his accuracy up when he makes accurate predictions, particularly where he would be right and a lot of pros would be wrong.
Not at all. The QM sequence predicts nothing about Higgs and has no original predictions, anyway, nothing that could falsify it, at any rate.
In general, if the situation where “he would be right and a lot of pros would be wrong” happens unreasonably frequently, you might want to “update your prior for his accuracy up” because he might have uncommonly good intuition, but that would probably apply to all his predictions across the board.
