`Maximal conformality' does not work

Abstract

The so-called "principle of maximal conformality" is ineffective and does nothing to resolve the renormalization-scheme-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.
