'Maximal conformality' does not work

The so-called principle of maximal conformality is ineffective and does nothing to resolve the renormalizationscheme-dependence problem. Some essential facts about that problem are summarized. It is stressed that RG invariance is a symmetry and that any viable method for resolving the scheme-dependence problem should be formulatable in terms of the invariants of that symmetry.

Automated summary

The principle of maximal conformality is ineffective in resolving the renormalization scheme-dependence problem. This problem should be addressed using the invariants of the RG invariance symmetry.
