[edit] Easier Introduction??

I believe the article on the anomalous scaling dimension should have a much easier introduction.

I think it represents the way in which a system (exponentially) diverges from what we would expect. For instance, if we believe something to be proportional to r² but it is in fact proportional to r^{2 + α}, then this α is exactly the anomaly, or the "anomalous scaling dimension". Please correct me if this not true.
