Redeeming bad theories

We give a Seiberg-like dual description of the interacting superconformal infrared fixed point of N - 4 gauge theory in three dimensions with vanishing Chern Simons level and N-c <= N-f < 2N(c) fundamental flavors. These theories are known as bad theories due to the existence of unitarity violating monopole operators. We show that, in a dual description, all such operators are realized by free fields and the remainder theory is the Seiberg-like dual previously identified using the type IIB brane construction.
