"The concept of naturalness is usually cited as the underlying motivation for supersymmetry. We will challenge that concept, and in any case need to point out that there is nothing natural about the development of the theory itself. Its main success is its agility in dodging the facts. The dubious explanation of the convergence of the three scaling coupling constants into a single point can not be taken seriously. It is just another fit, using some of the many free parameters."
