Er, yep. Thanks for taking the time to do roundabout arguments that lead to this very simple thing that we're not even disagreeing about. Sorry for not just stating this in a better way outright.
> string theory is the only candidate I'm aware of that is a QFT of any sort.
Loop Quantum Gravity is built from a QFT called "Group Field Theory" too, that's why they still have their renormalization problem. I suppose you could argue that it's "not comprehensive" enough, or that it's not a serious contender.

...and they are therefore both failed paradigms, but we're not going to agree about that opinion. All I can add is to say that we're never going to find a fifth Maxwell equation that works with the other four and explains more things within that framework. That's all I mean by "failed" and it's probably a controversial perspective.
