dimensionful

Carl called this egoless, dimensionful area the Zone.

In fact, you clearly don't need M_W because it is dimensionful and it must therefore drop out.

If you are speaking of a dimensionless constant, which clearly you are in this case as it is the exponent in the inverse square law, then you are dealing with the problem that I suggested - of attempting to explain a dimensionful constant, that is a constant which requires one or more units of measurement with which to establish its value.

Anyway, a large part of what you sought to argue for was simply that we can't currently explain the values of dimensionful (as opposed to dimensionless) universal constants - which I agree with - but I sought to take things a step further and say that with regard to the fundamental universal constants, we will never be able to explain their values

If the hypothetical change in fundamental constants occurs only in dimensionful fundamental constants (e.g., doubling the speed of light), then by changing one or more units of measurement (e.g., halving the unit of time, e.g., the second) one is able to establish a correspondence to a universe in which no such change took place.

Not dimensionful constants, that is constants that are measured along a given dimension, which are contrasted against dimensionless constants.

This is what renders a change in the scale of dimensionful fundamental constants meaningless - the observational indistinguishability of the universe before and after such a change.
