Time-Varying alpha and Particle Physics — mentioned by raattgift

Would you really characterize this Wilczynska, Webb, King et al. paper as an argument that there is "growing evidence", rather than (say) that it's a number-crunching argument that the small amount of observations that suggested a dipole variation to Webb et al. (and King et al.) show a \Delta\alpha / \alpha that's close enough to unity that one can cherry pick and say "oh yes, there's a (small) dipole variation" or "oh no, the data is consistent with no variation" ? I prefer their earlier slide deck for gory details (it's mostly based on King et al 2012).…
