Your Landau pole could be implied by a current QED, but if it has no discernable consequences, it is idle speculation.

The committee that awards Nobels in Physics are identically the same individuals who are failing to do science anymore. If the Alzheimer's researchers get together and make up an award to give to Alzheimer's researchers, of course it will go to an amyloid chaser. In other words, you are using a circular argument: begging the question.

Sounds good, we will have to put you in charge of everything. Besides Landau poles not being science, maybe you can also arrange that set theory isn't mathematics, that free verse isn't poetry, and that hip-hop isn't music. Let those cosmologists with no chance of actually observing the big bang go into hiding! We will show them a thing or two. Heh.
Physics, uniquely in your list, is about something outside itself, but you would prefer for it to be just like the others. Noted.

The Alzheimer's amyloid plaques crowd is with you 100%.
