the criterion that a small parameter is natural only if setting it to zero enlarges the symmetry of the theory, so quantum corrections keep it small.

In particle physics, technical naturalness refers to the criterion that a small parameter is natural only if setting it to zero enlarges the symmetry of the theory, so quantum corrections keep it small. This meaning comes from Hooft (1980) in Recent Developments in Gauge Theories.[1]
