|content=Here is what is wrong with [[Effective Field Theory (EFT)|Effective Field Theory]], to me, as explained by Wheel Of Fortune.

Imagine this puzzle was the information at some low energy ([[Standard Model]]), and the number of letters left to find matched the orders of magnitude from where we are to (UV) completion.

[[Effective Field Theory (EFT)|Effective Field Theory]] says “Be modest and learn to live with lack of unique UV completion and a rambling effective [[Standard Model]] so many orders of energy away from the Planck Scale because it can’t be guessed from so far away.”

|content=@EricRWeinstein it could be interesting if you clarify your position on the [[Effective Field Theory (EFT)|EFT]] doctrine. To me it is basically a "planck-scale first" doctrine, that tells that any experimental result is not important, and than renormalizability of theories is just an amusement.

I belong to the Bruce Willis school of fundamental physics:
