In all seriousness, I believe that the resolution of the diameter of the electron would shed a lot of light on the fundamental mysteries of physics and the architecture of reality:
Like, how far below the Planck Length can things go in practice?
What "New Physics" can describe interactions on those scales?
Is space fundamentally granular or continuous?
Is it possible that the electron is a composite of smaller particles, just as the proton is a bag of quarks?
And related to your own musings, what role does quantum foam play?
It's all extremely mysterious and tantalizingly out of the reach of the best conceivable instruments.
