The results obtained are shown to depend strongly on the regulator. Specifically, it is shown that a certain result of Al-sarhi, Jack, and Jones no longer holds, even if a nontrivial measure factor is used; also that there are no values of the top and Higgs mass for which the one-loop quadratic divergence in the standard model cancels independently of the renormalization scale, whether or not strong interaction effects are ignored.14 pages.
