An important argument suggesting that anomalous transport is important to the degree that it often dominates the total transport is the [[Scaling law|scaling]] of transport with heating power and machine size. The phenomenon of [[Scaling law|power degradation]], universally observed in all devices, is an indication that standard transport theories are inadequate to explain all transport, since these would not predict power degradation. | An important argument suggesting that anomalous transport is important to the degree that it often dominates the total transport is the [[Scaling law|scaling]] of transport with heating power and machine size. | ||
