Abstract
The models we use, habitually, to describe quantum nonlinear optical processes have been remarkably successful, yet, with few exceptions, they each contain a mathematical flaw. We present this flaw, show how it can be fixed, and, in the process, suggest why we can continue to use our favored Hamiltonians.
