Popis: Nominal errors on the determination of αs(mZ) from τ decay are so small that it may appear that this is the best method of measuring the strong coupling. While I agree that this way of determining αs(mZ) is a very good one, I think that the theoretical errors involved are larger than often asssumed, even if the QCD sum rule framework is accepted.
