One sleight of hand is to write down g instead of g-2, in which case you pick up a couple more digits but haven't added any useful information because the value of 2 is already known.
At the other end of the spectrum is the s-called vacuum catastrophe [2] where the predicted and actual values for the energy density of a vacuum diverge by as many as 120 orders of magnitude.
As for the incompleteness of QFT, this is well beyond my knowledge. I really wish this were an article instead of a transcript though. Transcripts are such poor means of conveying information.
