Fundamental Theory and Effective Field Theory

It was announced today that Leo Kouwenhoven found Majorana Fermions.

Before I would've pooh-poohed on the news,  and would've said "this is not fundamental." I know better now. In my agnostic mind , there is no difference between what is called Effective Field Theory, and Quantum Field Theory. Steve Weinberg, and Julian Schwinger come to mind. They consciously followed something that could be called High Level Phenomenology. My new Scientific Method, is definitely Phenomenological.
