I think the argument is based on the quantization of various phenomena? like you derive the value and then show that it pops up in quanta. the assumption is that because it does so, no smaller lengths can be measured, since you can't use anything like light to do it.
I guess I might have claimed too strongly about it, but I just mean: the perspective that this length is some limit meaningfully will not be respected if we eventually resolve the differences between quantum-sized physics and macro-physics. The increase of length through the planck-length barrier will be understood as a qualitative change inflection point, just like the distance where the strong and weak force become entirely irrelevant is. The quanta will also become understood by the same underlying principle as the length and therefore interdependent and provding the explanation of its existence.
yeah that makes sense. people take physics theory a bit far in proposing various metaphysical theories. pop science leads people to think they understand physics, but the explanations don't always follow from the math. Feynman's "shut up and calculate" makes more and more sense to me the older I get.
