Higgs Range Narrowed; Hunt Enters Final Stage

Serious question here: What does it mean to say that Higgs bosons are "real" ?

Physicists often go out of their way to point out that theory is under-determined by data. If you have two theories that account for all our data, but one theory contains a Higgs bosons and the other theory does not, do we still say that Higgs bosons are "real"?

Or, does saying they're "real" assume some standard model of physics as the context for the statement?
