我考虑的问题是，如何从字面上理解“规范论证”，这是理解基础物理学中局部规范对称性原理的纯粹核心意义的规范方法。正如我所论证的，规范论证必须（最多）提供一种启发式的阅读。由于我所讨论的许多原因，必须对这种论点反映了深刻的“自然逻辑”的说法持保留态度。
I consider the question of how literally one can construe the "gauge argument," which is the canonical means of understanding the putatively central import of local gauge symmetry principles for fundamental physics. As I argue, the gauge argument must be afforded (at best) a heuristic reading. Claims to the effect that the argument reflects a deep "logic of nature" must, for numerous reasons I discuss, be taken with a grain of salt.
