The way I'd put it is 3) In its current state, you can get string theory to "predict" just about anything. The reason is the enormous amount of string theory vacua, each giving rise to different "laws" of low energy physics. You've probably seen the old estimate that 10^500 such vacua exist. That turned out to be a slight underestimate: https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.03209 Even if you try to narrow down your search to vacua with the same rough features as the Standard Model (types of particles and interactions) you end up with numbers like 10^723: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.00444 (Disclaimer…
