Speed-of-light experiments give baffling result at Cern

Particles in physics are so darn complicated to me...

I was under the impression that neutrinos passing through the solar mantle would encounter far less absorption and re-emission (read as 'none') than photons would, allowing for the apparent delay of detectable light with respect to detection of the neutrinos.
