Core Concepts
The Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) offers a rigorous solution to the renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), contrary to criticisms based on misinterpretations and outdated understandings of the method.

This paper aims to clarify misinterpretations surrounding the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) in resolving renormalization scheme dependence in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), specifically addressing criticisms raised by P.M. Stevenson based on the Principle of Minimum Sensitivity (PMS).
