Why is the Higgs mechanism needed?

[QUOTE="paralleltransport, post: 6560963, member: 589748"] Hi, thanks. So the short answer is aesthetics, correct? In other words, we like gauge invariant theories because they make pretty UV complete theories. I could easily reproduce all observables with effective theories that have fine tuned masses (so the number of fine tuned parameters is the same as the number of coupling strengths that are fine tuned in the gauge invariant theory with the higgs) [/QUOTE]
