Well aside from the fact that I have some amount of scorn for theoretical cosmological types, the author's complaint about "ugliness" creeping in, in the form of extra forms, factors, and finitudes, doesn't phase me in the least. A non-perfect system will always require mathematical "tweaking" to some extent. Consider the ideal gas law. To describe a more realistic gas system, one has to consider the fact that the gas particles ain't infinitesmally small and will take up a certain volume, and will interact with each other, for starters...
