Updated version of "Something is rotten in the state of QED": https://arxiv..org/pdf/2110.02078

I really like the renormalization quotes:
Feynman: It is whether or not the theory gives predictions that agree with experiment. It is not a question of whether a theory is philosophically delightful, or easy to understand, or perfectly reasonable from the point of view of common sense.
The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes Nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept Nature as She is: absurd. I’m going to have fun telling you about this absurdity, because I find it delightful. Please don’t turn yourself off because you can’t believe Nature is so strange.”

Dirac: “I must say that I am very dissatisfied with the situation because this so-called ’good theory’ does involve neglecting infinities which appear in its equations, ignoring them in an arbitrary way.
This is just not sensible mathematics. Sensible mathematics involves disregarding a quantity when it is small – not neglecting it just because it is infinitely great and you do not want it!. ”

> More importantly if the remaining 94% of the data results produces a different value for the muon g-factor, we can count on the theorists to come up with another tweak that EXACTLY predicts just this new result. Now, what do we call a theory that can predict any number you want, ...?

Indeed, Standard Model is ~26 parameters a few pages long sequence of corrections - expanded: https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/the-deconstructed-standard-model-equation
The big question is if we can see this sequence as "Taylor expansion" of a simpler model?
Where to search for it?
I bet on topological solitons - starting with making Gauss law count topological charge for its quantization ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.07896 ).
