Isn't the argument: if there exists a magnetic monopole anywhere in the universe, and angular momentum is quantized, then charge must also be quantized. Nothing has made me wish for magnetic monopoles more.

The best part? A serious experiment detected precisely one unexplained monopole event in a monopole detector [1].

The result is unexplained, and probably always will be. Subsequent searches have turned up nothing.

You only need one... :).
