SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the process of restoring S.I. units to a Lagrangian originally expressed in natural units. It concludes that to achieve this restoration, one must incorporate specific scaling factors that correspond to the field in question, rather than merely reintroducing the fundamental quantities that were initially omitted. The key takeaway is that only quantities relating to different dimensions are excluded in the formulation of natural units, not the fundamental quantities themselves.
