Unzicker and Gross have a nice discussion David Gross is proponent of Standard Model here. Whereas Alexander Unzicker is German physicist researching "Einstein's" concept of variable speed of light
In his book, “The Higgs Fake“ he states:
It (the book) is written for the young scholar who wants to dig into the big questions of physics, rather than dealing with a blend of mythology and technology

Why we measure two different values for the radius of protons? Two Higgs masses? Two values of Hubble constant? Two lifetimes of neutron? How Standard model actually "calculates" things illustrates the recent discussion about proton radius discrepancy. The radius of proton is determined with dozens of QED corrections, many of them were chosen arbitrarily and their experimental errors are still quite large. This is epicycle approach on steroids - but it's tolerated or even promoted, because just this approach promises as many jobs for its proponents, as possible.

Of course, more intelligent and way less grants/job demanding/promising approach is also possible. We don't need Standard model parasites for anything useful:

• How Cook calculates proton and neutron mass. Also muon mass (with at least 6 effective decimal places of precission) Not bad at all.
  
• Self consistent automatic QFT predictions of particle masses
  
• Derivation mass of proton from Machian principles.
  
• Derivation of α and particle mass by Randell Mills (via 1, 2)
