The very stringent bounds on violations of LI imply that the models without a fundamental LI must be extremely fine tuned, unless some (very efficient) mechanism enforces the emergence of LI at low energies. I will describe two recent mechanisms which can accomplish the feat, and their main observational signatures." comments = "" submit = 0
